I always look at the "Best graphics cards for the money" articles on Tom's Hardware:

I like that that site.  I usually use tomshardware, but it's much easier to get a general sense from that site - and then if you really want to know how an SLI/CF solution will place, you can look it up on Tomshardware.

You will be limited your current power supply and the length of the "new card".  I doubt a 9800GTX+ would fit in that case.  Those are your two factors.
