    Need help with picking out new parts

    So my tax refund is coming soon, time to upgrade my pc.

    Need a new graphics card with 2 monitor slots please, probably a new motherboard and going for 72bit. What else would you guys suggest me getting along with those things? Going for good but cheap!

    Here is my specs, I have about $500-$700 spending money! Let me know thanks.

    Graphics card is a Nivida Gforce9800 GT

    Well I put what Im wanting, I dont need everything the template ask.

    I want a good but affordable Graphics card with duel monitor support, a 72 bit motherboard and anything else I might need to finish upgrading my 5 year old custom built pc. Im trying to make it faster because my connection where I live isn't great, but also able to play games with no problems. Anyone have any parts they suggest?

    Use the template, that screenshot is useless.

    No idea what 72 bit is.

    As for video card, something like this would be nice: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-S.../dp/B00CZIQXBA. $340 for GeForce 770 which is awesome, or maybe even go as high as this: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-D.../dp/B00CUIVTCS, GeForce GTX 780, which is in your price range, provided you won't buy anything else.
