The 6800GT from nvidia should be pretty decently priced and provide great graphics for gaming.

look into the Radeon X800 pro VIVO
make sure it is the VIVO version, it will give you the most bang for your buck, because it is relatively easy to softmod it to a much more powerful XT PE. I have this, and i have no problem playing top end videogames on moderately high settings.

I wouldn't recommend it. You get essentially the same performance with the x800 XT PE, for far less, and for even less if you take my route and aren't afraid to mod it.

as you can see, it's only marginally better than the x800, and it's a solid 150$ more, depending on where you go.
