First off all, what chipset does your motherboard got?

Need more information on your computer to see what is compatible with it. However if its fairly new computer then you can go for ATI 3870($100) or 8800GT($130) or if you want to go a bit higher you can go 9800GT ($200) or 4850($200).

4870 is the bomb for single cards, if you have an sli or crossfired motherboard go for dual's nvidia (sli capable board) or ati (crossfired capable board), I have dual 4870's crossfired sic sic sic, make sure you remeber when your moding to keep in mind your power supply and ability to keep everything cool, and run a bench mark on your current card and the new one to see how much improvement you get, you can always tweak em through overclocking.

If it has 1 PCI-E socket ,the best one you could get would be Radeon 4870 x2 but probably you would have to change ur PSU.

I got the Nvidia Gforce 9600gt and its Pwnage.
not that expensive either, so with a decent motherboard u can have dual.
