So I want to upgrade my video card from a 8800 GTX to something beefier. I have to upgrade my motherboard as well. What's a good video card/motherboard combo for under 400$ total? I'm going to do some more upgrades as well but these will be the biggest.

Don't forget a power supply.

what's your CPU and RAM type? Does you PSU have the right power plugins for the PCI-E cards?

Yes i need a power supply as well. Here are pictures of my CPU and RAM from System Info for Windows.

Is there a reason why you're upgrading your motherboard? Unless it's dead, don't since you'll probably want to upgrade to the latest socket if you do upgrade.

You know you have to factor in what cpu you are going to use and what cpu socket too right? You might have to buy a new cpu with that and it will be more expensive than just a mobo and videocard.

Thats why i want to upgrade. In order to get the video card i want i need up to date motherboard sockets that my motherboard doesnt have. "
