best GFX card to get right now is a GeForce 4 Ti4200

with the software you get with it it clocks to the same speed as Ti4600. but it is about 1/3 of the price. 64MB version has slightly faster RAM than the 128MB version.

it costs less then some geforce 3's and outperforms them. it also scales very well if you get a faster processor, this means you wont need a new gfx card for ages

If you want a really nice and really cheap card go for the radeon8500. It's past the GeForce3 TI 500 and is just getting better (everytime they releace new drivers). It's also a really cheap card.
