Honestly I wouldnt go over a 5870 on that board and processor you will start seeing alot of bottlenecking by the processor on higher resolutions best i would get would be a gtx570 for getting the physx off the processor. But stiil your board and processor will not let the video card perform to its maximum capability. Good luck to you.

Any current graphics card will be compatible with your motherboard. However, you also need a power supply that is good enough and enough room in your case.

What power supply do you have?

What case do you have?

Budget?

yes but just remember that it doesnt necessarily mean get the best or one of the best what I stated would be still more than your system can completely make use of so any more than what I stated will be a waste of money unless you are planning to upgrade everything else pretty soon

actually the power supply used was an older one, it was from a cpu with a processor of inter pentium 4 2.66ghz...

jsrudd asks good questions!

its all the same kinda. For your build since it has an older processor Iwould go with an Nvidia because it wont put the physx on the CPU it will make it run on the card so it will off load some the load to it. AMD ATI not so much, but still your current PSU will not handle it
