    Looking at the specs of your motherboard, the bandwidth of the PCI-E slots are x8 apparently, so you'll be holding the card back to a certain extent.

    Well the 4850 might be okay that pizzaman suggested. The 4870 might be a bit too much for your PSU, or you go go down to a 4670 or 4650 as well.

    What are you wanting to use the graphic card for? Gaming or just general use?

    the 4870 should be fine with his PSU
    but a 3870 is a good card also

    I wouldn't spend $200 for a video card that's on an x4 slot. For 2D work, any card in the past 5 years is sufficient to handle the task easily so you don't have to spend much. You'll notice the boost simply by having dedicated video memory on a separate card.

    wait how many pci slots do you have?
    you could get a low end ati card and crossfire them
