Depends on your purpose...  enthusiast?  heavy gamer?  light gamer?

Anyway, you probably want something DX11 compatible (you want your card to last into the future right?), so either the Radeon 5xxx series or wait for NVidia's DX11.
or a DX11 card Hahaha
gt 2xx over a 9xxx any day of the week!!

Radeon 5770 probably cost you around $150-180 USD
Radeon 5850 probably cost you $300-350 USD
Too bad there's nothing in between right now...

Or wait for NVidia if you like them better.
Please explain how exactly you killed your 8800. From the your post it looks like you had it in the oven... Reflowing?
i just bought the Gigabyte Radeon HD 5770
