Yeah, I was thinking about the 9600GT, which I could get for around $150, but I really wanna stick with ATI just in-case I decide to go dual-cards in the near future. As for the 3870, I actually just saw that sapphire card on newegg a couple days ago and kinda like it. Are the new gen DX10 cards really that much better overall than the top DX9 cards?

As for the reason why, not really any reason, honestly, I have more than enough RAM in my system, more than enough hard drive space, plenty CPU, and just looking for the next worthy upgrade, which would be the graphics card. I play my games at 1440x900 resolution with most if not all settings typically maxed out just fine and get pretty good FPS. I don't play anything TOO serious, mostly WoW, NFS, and a couple various sports games (Madden, etc).

Thanks for the suggestion I guess what I'm really wanting to do is upgrade SOMETHING on my computer as I normally do every 6-12 months, and I just can't think of anything at all that I can upgrade for the amount of money I have to spend. I guess I'll just sit on it until I have enough money for a 30" LCD Thanks.
