Go with the 4830, OC the snot out of it. 670/955 will get you into HD4850 and 9800GTX+ territory (+/- 5fps depending on the game, comparable system and resolution/settings) from what I've seen in reviews.

System: Well... it's certainly clocked... and bright.

ATI HD4830 512MB - $89.99 ($79.99 after MIR)

I've heard they're awesome OC'ers, as well.

It's one of the best bang-for-your-buck video cards out there, IMO.

A 4830 should play Fallout 3 pretty well on a low-to-medium res monitor with pretty high details. Crysis, on the other hand... you'd probably need a GTX280 or dual HD4830's to play on very high (DX10) - with a decent framerate, that is.
