This is more or less the perfect recommendation for the TS.

Hello,
I would suggest you give this a read:-
Notice To All Those Who Need Help With Builds and Guide to Rig Suggestions !!
You're asking for suggestions, that's what you are getting. Try not to set parameters/limiters when you ask questions. Since you decided to post here, accept the judgement of the people replying to your query.
1)Your Pentium D will horribly bottleneck any ~6k card. If you are going to "upgrade later", why not upgrade the GPU later as well? You'll possibly get a better product cheaper.
2)The HD4670 will max. out most games on a 19 inch display when paired with an E5xxx class processor.
3)The upgrades suggested above fit your budget. I see no reason to not go ahead with it.
4)The Nvidia equivalent to the 4670, the 9600GT costs a bit more, uses more power and offers very little performance gain over the HD 4670 to get a recommendation.
If you have any other queries or some other upgrade plans in the near future, please do post about them.
PS: If you must purchase a more expensive card, go with the Zotac(Nvidia) 9800GT, or a 4850 if you can raise your budget a bit as suggested above by
sato1986.
