more than likely your board is equiped with an pci express slot if thats the case and your trying to play crysis id recommend the gtx 260.....on the other hand if you motherboard is agp then go with dual radeon 4870 if you motherboard supports it

You have not mentioned what resolution you are playing games.

For 1600x1200, High Quality, GeForce 8800 GTX SLI(best choice)

1280x1024, High Quality, GeForce 8800 GT 512MB

1280x1024, Medium Quality,Radeon X1900 XT 256MB

1024x768, Medium Quality, Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB

I am not sure about prices or availability in Doha. Check out at Sofitel.

Graphic card of 512MB memory cost around 200QR. There are two types of Graphic cards AGP/PCI Express , costs are almost same. No need to buy slots (u cannot buy it). Motherboards are equipped with either PCI-express slot or AGP. so first you have to check your motherboard to see what type of slot it has. Then buy graphic card accordingly.
