Now that ATI's new 5800 series line is out if you can splurge on a little bit more of an upgrade might be a good choice. If you can wait a little bit, ATI is supposed to release there remaining lines while NVIDIA is set to release their gt300 series. Another benifactor of waiting a bit is if these new lines come out there will be another dramatic price cut on all existing gpu's, i.e. NVIDIA's gt200 line will drop drastically in price.. If you need a card now the 4890 was on sale at Newegg.com last time a check, that was last week. it was selling for 150. The 4870 is always a good choice and the 9800gtx that was recommended earlier is also a win situation.
Thank you very much, all the Mobos I have are different so I didn't know which would fit this one.

ATX motherboards almost always are laid out in the same format. Any case that is an ATX case will fit any ATX motherboard. In your case you own a micro ATX board. All micro mobo's will also fit in an ATX case. Newegg.com would be my first stop for shopping. If nothing there suits your fancy you can always jump to TigerDirect.com, Microcenter.com, or PCConnection.com. Ive gotten hardware from all 4 vendors and they have all had very good service. If you order from Newegg.com your order will typically arrive at your shipping address in no more than 3 days. Mine orders typically arrive in 2.

Unfortunately there really isn't a solution. If your computer is old enough that it only has PCI slots I think its about time for an upgrade. PCI is going to have a higher price because it is a more antiquated technology. The same thing happend with RAM pricing, when ddr2 came out pricing on ddr went through the roof. Any game that release now a days is going to almost always require a card that can process T&L. If you really don't want to upgrade you can always check ebay or craiglist for used cards that might save you some dough.
Ive got Crysis running at 5040x1050 with my TripleHead2Go. Looks amazing. Playing on Ultra High with dx9 enabled to speed up fps. Crysis for some reason doesn't like to run at that resolution on dx10.] Like a bunch of people have said before me it all depends on how much you want to spend. As you can see from my signature, my rig was a pretty penny.
