For that res. you could get a standard 8800GT/GTS/GTX if you have a PCI-E x 2 6-pin you could get aswell a GTX 260 or if you have a 1 x PCI-E 6 pin and 1 x PCI-E 8 pin even a GTX 280 for high end gaming, if you don't know what PCI-E etc you have post your power supply we can check for you.

any of the equivalent ATI cards would work for you aswell.

You could support a GTX 280 or ATI 4780X2 with that which is the most high end cards at the moment:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=56&subid=1235 - 4780X2

On a note though it's only 650W so you will have to be careful, the safer option would be GTX 260 or 4780.

Sorry pal

I have that CPU and Motherboard, im going for the Freezer 7 soon too.

The Antec 900 isn't that great though, try and pick another one.

I fell for the looks, if it becomes a nuisance I'll get a new one and maybe try my hand at modding the antec

An ATI 4850 or 4870 or nVidia 260 GTX or 280 GTX. Which ever price best suits you.

[Redmoon Evil]

I settled with a single ATI 4870

Good Choice. I'm hoping to get me a 4870X2 in the coming months.
