Upgrating Graphic Card - Help!

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and I'm not familiar with PC hardware. The thing I want to upgrade is my Graphic card in order to have better performance on Gaming. PC is 3 years old so it's not new. Bellow you can see my built:

Motherboard: »www.asus.com/Motherboard ··· 6/P7H55/ (Asus P7H55)

CPU: Intel Core i5 @ 3.20 GHz ( 2 cores)

Current Graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT.

RAM: 4GB

Any suggestion about a new Graphic Card? By budget is around 200- 300$ . Thanks in advance.

P.S: I hope I posted it in the right section.

I take it you have a Core i5-650 or Core i5-655K? If so your CPU is probably just fine for gaming.

Start here, and get the most powerful GPU in your price-range: »AMD Radeon HD 7750 7770 7850 Prices Slashed

You're probably looking at a GTX 660 Ti or a Radeon 7950. I'd go for the 7950.

Also consider upping your ram to at least 8 GB. It's cheap.

Thank you for your answer. I am thinking of buying this one: »www.amazon.com/HIS-Eyefi ··· 06O714G2 . You think it's OK? My CPU is i5-650. About RAM, I found a deal here:
»www.amazon.com/Kingston- ··· RY5VRC6R

Is this ram the propper for my Motherboard? Thanks!

Make sure you have a 64 bit operating system before upping ram...

I believe socket 1156 only uses 1333mhz RAM. Any of these will work: »www.newegg.com/Product/P ··· %3a30325

And yes--verify you have Windows 64 bit...

My OS is Windows 7 premium 64 bit. About the Graphic card I linked you before, is the socket of my motherboard the propper for this card? Here is the card: »www.amazon.com/HIS-Eyefi ··· 06O714G2
