Pretty difficult to really answer that, because it depends what you want
to do with the machine.  If you want to play Doom3, I would recommend an
Nvidia 6600GT or 6800GT (about $150 and $275 respectively).  Personally,
I'm going to upgrade in a month or so, and going with an Nvidia 7800GT for
about $375, which will get me through the next couple of years worth of
new game releases.  It pays to get more than you think you need now, to
avoid having to keep upgrading so often.
