Just confirming something. The PCI-E part means that I need my GraphicsCard slot on my mother board to say that? Or like what does that mean?
One last thing. How good it this card. With it would I be able to play what games? Like FlyFF? CombatArms? Maplestory? WorldofWarcraft? Becuase right now I have the GeForce 6150card. and I can't play any of those games except for Combat Arma.

PCI-E is the slot you put the graphics card in, if you have that kind.
And I believe that that is a nice graphics card.

What about the game Crysis? Do you NEED to have like the the best card to play that game? becuase he Geforce9800 GTX+ OC 512MB PCIe was onlu 60$ more. So if it that card would make a HUGE difference, then should I get it?
Also what is DDR3 512mb? Would it work on my computer?

512MB is want you want to get, 256 sucks, I don't know what DDR3 is, I'm not a tech expert. :\

That card should be able to play Crysis fine.
PCI-E is the slot in your motherboard

The 8800GT should play Crysis well (all medium on most resolutions with a decent number of FPS). It should play all the other games on your list on the highest possible settings.
The 256MB version of the 8800GT isn't too bad, as long as you don't play at high resolutions or with lots of AA, AF, etc.
The 9800GTX+ is about 20-30% faster than the 8800GT, but it may or may not provide a better price vs. performance ratio (depending on the prices). Still, you won't get 9800GTX+ speeds from an 8800GT, so it also depends on how much you can invest.
DDR3 is the generation of RAM that's used on the graphics card. It's fast enough (in combination with the other specs of the card) for playing all of the games that you listed.

Im still not sure what to get becuase the 9800 is the newest technology, well anyway here are the prices. Tell what you suggest.
$119.99
VGA e-GeForce 8800 GT 512MB DDR3 PCI-E
$179.99
BFG Tech GeForce 9800 GTX+ OC 512MB PCIe
Also I was checking the future shop flyer and they got 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 PC DIMM for 34.99 which seems cheap..

Actually the GTX200 series are the newest and get the 9800GTX+ the 8800 is dated now.
EDIT: My bad for the games that your gonna play the 8800 will do just fine.

I don't get it, your computer can't run crappy games, but you can play combat arms?

If you can't play games such as Maplestory, there's far more wrong here than the graphics card. A 6150 has 10x more power than Maplestory could ever use.
As far as graphics cards, don't even bother with nVidia, for for the ATi 4850, it's a much better card than the 9800GTX+.

I hate my Intel GMA 950... It's crap. I can't even play Halo 2 or CoD4. I get 30 FPS average with Halo!
The 8 series are outdated now. I believe a 9500 is better than the 8800GT and is around the same price.
