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.

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.
