well between 200-300 you could either get a gtx 460 or a gtx 470 but you could nearly buy 2 gtx 460's for $400 which is better than a gtx 480

if you were SLI/CrossX I would highly recommend 2x 5770's which can be had for under $300. Monster power at that price range. But if you want only single then a 5850 or GTX 460 1GB will do the trick.

Sorry lol. Somehow in my mind I thought your budget was 200-450

It would be a toss-up between gtx 470 and 5870 depending on what game you play. Also if you plan on doing dual gpu in the future SLI is so much better scaling then crossfire.

I've always been a fan of HIS cards, I like their cooling solution.
