Are you also willing to tell us what socket your computer uses for graphics, and what kind of power supply you have?

If you have a pci express x16 slot i would reccomend the GeForce 7600 GT

For the price the card can deliver with 256mb of memory (although its 128-bit memory bus will you slow you down)

but @ 560 mhz on the core and 1400 mhz effective on the memory its the best bang for your buck

note that at your price range dont expect to be able to max all the settings out
