This is probably your best bet:

Bonus if you get two for SLI mode. :thumbup:

Make certain you have a large enough power supply... the higher end cards like power.

Get a GeForce 8800GT. They are the best for the money right now, I wouldn't bother SLI-ing it because its not really worth it. Besides, by the time a game comes out that you'd ever need to SLI it you'll just need a new PC/GFX card anyway.

The power connectors only fit one way, so you can't plug it in wrong.

Does the video come up, or you get a black screen?

100F is nothing. It has a big-ass fan to keep it cool.

Let me tell you ...
Besides the fan that's built onto the card, I have three fans mounted to the box case itself.
Overall, the system is sufficiently cool.
Of course, it also helps to have outside air-conditioning.
