GTS250/9800GTX+ or a 4850 From ATI

Both perform similarly and are in the same price range.

The 4850 is the best card for $150, if you want to spend just a bit more you can get the GTX 260 SP 216 or the 4870 which I both recommend especially since you have a nice CPU to pair up with.

I dislike the thread title

$15 off $150, but worth the performance over the 4850/GTS 250.

I have that card, and I'd recommend it over any Nvidia card, but that's because I'm cheap...
