Best GPU i CAN get with my PC

Ok, so i currently have an ASUS 8800GT 512mo. I'd like to get something better, but im afraid my PC will hold me back..

Q6600, P5K-e, PSU thermaltake 500w, Antec900, windows xp, 22'' t220, 2g @ 800mhz

-So, i thought i could maybe get a 9800 GTX, but i think it support only windows vista ?

-Also, my current 8800gt fit tight in my case so im afraid a 9800 GTX couldnt fit in....?

-And my PSU might not be powerfull enough. . . ??

So guys, what do you think ???????????

thx !!

Ok, well, then would it be worth getting a 9800GTX+ SSC edition ?????? Would it be a significative improvement over my 8800GT ?

No, its only 2-3 frames more in games. The difference between the two is VERY small. If you want to upgrade, go for the gtx 260 216 core.

besides crysis what cant you max out or come close to maxing out with your 8800GT...really i dont think it would be worth while to upgrade ATM...i would wait for some new stronger cards to come out...just my opinion tho...

Yea, maybe i should wait. It's just that right now i run COD4 @ 1280/1024, and my FPS drop to 40 when theres a lot of smoke.... And ill receive a new monitor soon, a Samsung t220 22'', so ill run COD4 @ 1440/900 or 1680/1050, andi think its going to kill my fps. .
