Default What to do?
I've got a pretty decent cheap box I'm running now, but I don't know much about graphics cards. What would be the best I could get for my current specs?

There doesn't seem to be much of a market for pcie16x.

Yeah, I said I don't know much about them. All I know is that Newegg had maybe a few cards, rest were for 2.0 or something.

Edit: Money isn't really an issue. I'm just looking for options.

Ah, I looked through the book and it just had the x16 part.

Yeah, that's it.
