Wow... a lot more that I was expecting.

This motherboard is supposed to be able to support any PCIE format and with that in mind I would suggest the GT 640. You will get a lot of performance gain and save a good chunk of change.

If you want to go with a 500 series card, look at the GTX 560 Ti series.

Frankly if you can wait, I would suggest holding out till the GTX660s come out. I would bet they are going to be in the $250 price range.
