Hey, I currently have a ATI 9800 Pro 128MB and I really wanted to upgrade to a better one to keep up with the next-gen games. Whats a good video card to get for a price range of 200-250?

I would like to add that my Motherboard is AGP, would it e worth it to buy a new motherboard just for PCI-Express? I wouldnt mind getting a new mobo but its hard to fins them that have 478 pin proccessors. Mines 3.0 GHZ and I would hate to buy a new processor just to get PCI-Express. Unless there are some badd ass AGP cards, what would you guys recommend?

building a new computer basically is what you're looking at if you want pcie... they still do make a lot of video cards for agp, they're just more expensive... or REALLY cheap heh. I'd say if you can sell your current setup as a complete package you might be able to break even with purchasing a new setup

pricewatch.com and tigerdirect.com are pretty good sites for prices...

ati i think is a little cheaper than nvidia so you might want to look for a crossfire mobo
