Ok first what is your budget?

a 9600Gt or a 8800Gt will give great bang for buck

Dollars or pound :p?

For $200/300 is enough to get a new Graphics card 9600Gt and a bit more but

On your current system what PSU do you have?

How much RAM do you have?

Do you have the $$$ to buy a new MOBO and SLI?
