what you want is the pci-e 2.0 slots and the better video card i have seen on newegg is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103050

this one has pretty good reviews and rating. one thing you got to remember with these cards is that they are really damn long. they are probably around a foot long if not longer, so a mid size tower like the sonata 3 by antec is as small as you can go. trust me i had to deal with it since the sonata is my case and i had one hell of a time fitting the 8800gt in there. 8800s are about the same size as the 3800 series from ati.

one more thing i would recommend for you when looking for ram is to get it with a heatsink, it might be a little bit more but it will greatly reduce the temps on them and make them last longer cause of that.

btw what mobo are you going with? i assumed you are going with the mvp asus one, thats why i suggested the ati card for you.
