I am running one of these
GF GTX275 PCI-Express 2.0 896Mb DDR3 448Bit 633MHz Engine Clock 2.322GHz Memory Clock 2 x DVI-I - Byfarthecheapest.com
I only run a smallish screen res as this LCD monitor is old (1024x768)
The card has handled everything i have thrown at it so far with ease, but i do have a pretty beefy cpu.
You will need a power supply with 2 x power supply rails to power it though.....

Can't fault it for the money and runs all of the latest stuff with ease.
Just make sure your psu is beefy enough.

Wait !
Nvidia are weeks away (?) from releasing a new generation of product. This will see older and current stuff fall in price. I'm happy to see what £200 will get me, but NOT till the new stuff has done it's worst to the current prices.....
IMHO

Wait till march when the new GF100 series Nvidia GPU's are out, all DX11 compliant and should be very quick 
also means that you will see a drop in price on the older cards.

That's the problem with computer stuff, you end up continuously waiting for whats just round the corner so the existing stuff drops in price.
