NVIDIA 6800 GT is my recommendation,

I second Lyions recommendation. I'm running that card, and it's the first time since I started gaming that my video card isn't my bottleneck.

Yeah my video card is always my bottleneck because of financial issues :(

But I highly suggest the 6800gt, or if you want the ATI equivalent...x800pro
