I agree re the 8800 GTX, it's an excellent card and rated higher than most of the 9 series. According to Nvidia: http://www.nvidia.com/object/graphics_cards_buy_now.html, here's the "rankings" in order:
1. GeForce GTX 280
2. GeForce 9800 GX2
3. GeForce GTX 260
4. GeForce 8800 GTX
5. GeForce 8800 GTS (320/640 Mb)
6. GeForce 8800 GTS (512 Mb)
7. GeForce 9800 GTX+ (just an overclocked version of 9800 GTX)
8. GeForce 9800 GTX
9. GeForce 9800 GT
Prices have dropped considerably recently, you can get a 8800 Ultra from Tiger Direct for $199, or the 1Gb 9800 GX2 from Newegg for $269, GTX 280 is around $379, & the GTX 260 is $239.
