Graphics card upgrade time!

[Darklethal12]

So, I'm looking to upgrade my NVidia 9800 GT (512mb) to something more powerful. Any suggestions? I'd prefer to get another NVidia card, GTX 200 and up.

The current options I'm exploring:

1. Getting a second 9800 to run SLI with the current one.
2. Getting a GTX 200
3. Getting a GTX 400

Also, manufacturer (EVGA, MSI, etc.) recommendations are appreciated as well.

Restrictions:​

Price range is below $300, preferably $200


PSU Specs:

Alienware NPS-750AB-1 B
# Input: 100-240V ~ 10A, 50 - 60HZ
# Output: 750W Max

the 465 would be better buy cause it will handle new games to come for 279 Best bang for the buck Nvidia has released this year. but u can get 260 for less then $200 right now .. so u wanna save money in long run buy 465 gtx would be set for 3-6 years

If you have an SLI motherboard, you should choose another 9800gt over any GTX 200 card. 2 9800gt's would be almost equal to a GTX 275.

But, the 465 or 470 have my vote.

Mkay. Went with a PNY GTX 465. We'll see what this beast can do, in about three days, that is. Thanks for the help guys.
