It depends heavily on what you'll use it for...if your into hardcore gaming, multi-monitor setups, or graphics work buy the fastest card you can afford, something in the ATi 58** series would be great. If your doing casual gaming, web, email and facebook type of stuff then any mid-level card should last a good long time, look towards the 57** Ati cards or any nVidia 275 series card. I tend to stay away from the low end cards for any use because I cant stand hardware that cant even do Flash animation without stuttering...
