Well for starters you need to specify your maximum budget, also what kind of card you need depending on your motherboard.

PCI, AGP or PCI-E

(specify what card your currently using)

Do you have AGP or PCI-express slots on your motherboard? Also, Maximum Budget helps. If you're stuck with pci, the FX5700LE is the best card out, though it stinks.

If your not sure if you also have an available PCI-E or AGP slot, give us the model of your computer and/or motherboard and we can find out for you.
