I have an Asus P5Q Pro motherboard. Looking for something that will be a major upgrade from my ATI Radeon 4850 but which will still be compatible and not give me issues. I realized I needed an upgrade when its performance on Battlefield 3 just didn't cut it.

Looking to stay under $300. I won't use it for anything special except for gaming, although I do use dual LCD monitors if that makes any difference.

Any suggestions much appreciated.
 
Cool thanks...I won't need to upgrade my PSU right?

That 6950 twin frozr II looks like your best bet :)
