if i would buy a new card, i would go for the "higher average" type of card, they sell for around 300 dollars, so you don't spend too much money, for a card that can play 90% of the games out there now.
I would take the 8800GTS

Yes the ATI HD 2900XT is a high end card that will work better than a nvidia card on your motherboard. Crossfire will allow you to add a 2nd card down the road if you choose to go that route. If the HD 2900XT is a bit out of your reach look at the HD 2900PRO cards. They are a good buy as the price has dropped a bit from when they were brand new. I think newegg.com has them for around $300.

Nvidia has just released the 8800GT which has 512MB GDDR3, has a core speed of 600Mhz and a memory speed of 1800Mhz which makes for a good bang for your buck card, they are priced low as well.. If you can go for nvidia cards, they are kicking ATIs butt at the moment

If you have no plans of running Crossfire, get the 8800GT, best bang for the buck right now.

However, if Crossfire is on the horizon, you have no choice but the HD2900XT or wait a bit for the new HD3850 or HD3870.
