xfx 650i obviously and yes 8500 is not good enough if u want to run games on it.
8600 will be much better.

XFX 650i Ultra.Anything with prefix "XFX" is great :D .
8500gt is a DX10 card on the box only.It just doesn't have enough power for DX10.8600gt is far more sensible choice.Have a look at this chart
