 What mobo are you getting? are you going Intel or AMD? Well either way, if you're on a budget, the best cards you can get for the money are the HD3870, 9600GT and the 8800GT. All three of them about the same, with prices changing in proportion with their performance. (I mean that you will get a good card for the money regardless of which one you pick)
