Case and power supply would be helpful as well, but the motherboard and cpu were the most important things to know. Also, do you have any other expansion cards that might be in the way? If you let us know what sort of physical and electrical headroom you have, we should be able to recommend something.

The nVidia 9-series cards are very good. I'd recommend purchasing from Newegg.

It would help to know your power supply ratings and the resolution you'd want to play your games at, as well as which games you're planning on running with it. Budget would be nice too Very Happy
