Looking into a better video card and there are so many things that I have to look into before I go out and buy one. Some cards say PCI EXPRESS 2.0 is that a new req. for some pcie slots to have? how will I know if the card will run on my system. Im looking to getting a new PSU (An Antec 430 watt supply with a EVGA 8800GT 512mb DDR3 video Card, is that a good combo?)

I was also looking into the NVIDIA XFX GeForce 9600GT 512MB card, but it supports the PCIe 2.0 thing! Is it a better card, and will it run?

Please help any way you can
Thanks

PCI Express 2.0 cards will work with PCI Express 1.0 MB's. Express 2.0 has a faster bandwith. All newer motherboards are PCIe 2.0
