Need a new video card

I bought an 8600 GT (which has 1 gig of DDR2 ram) as a holdover a few months ago, to get this PC functioning. I now want to buy a better video card. Can someone throw me some recommendations as to price and whatnot? I'd like to possibly eventually SLI them (i.e. buy two) but don't worry about that as a consideration unless your suggestion specifically doesn't allow SLI for some reason.
I'm assuming...9800s like GTX or whatnot I should be looking at? Can I get something decent for 150-200 bucks?

Make sure you have enough space inside the case to fit two of these things without causing problems. Also be sure that your mobo supports SLI and has the proper slots (2x PCI Express x16 slots in this case). If your mother board is not up to snuff I would wait until you are ready to buy a new computer before buying a state of the art video card.
Also, threads like this would be better off in the Technology board because people there will know more.
edit: That looks pretty good actually, thanks. And yeah I think my mobo can support 2 16x PCI-E.
