What is the best video card i can buy for around $200?

im building a new desktop computer. what is the best video card i can buy for around 200 dollars . i wanted something with at least 512mb of memory and pci-express 16x.|||One of the best bang for buck video cards you can get is the 8800gt. It outperforms the newer 9600gt because they're both based on the same cores but the 8800 is faster.



The cheapest 8800gt I could find is here:

There are more expensive cards of the same version which are just made by different manufacturers, the top manufactureres of Nvidia cards are XFX, BFG and EVGA



EVGA are great because of their 90 day step up program, which lets you trade in your card and buy a newer card within 90 days, you only pay the difference between the prices of both cards.



EVGA 8800gt ($199 after MIR)

There's also a 8800gts (outperforms the gt quite a bit, is almost equal to the much more expensive gtx) for $239 after MIR ($269 without) here:
