Newegg.com - EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

It's cheaper and the best brand for a 8800GTS.

I've check and found that it DOES have a PCI-e x16 slot. It's standard procedure for me to double check before I recommend things.
