Get a 6800Gt or x800Xl minimum.
If you go cheaper than that, your gonna regret it soon enough.

the only regret i have on my 9800 pro is that it's 128mb and i have to play HL2 on medium textures to run everything else high with 2XAA and 8X anisotropic at 1280x1024
on high textures my fps starts going under Vsync and i get stutters on turning corners
256mb9800pro, if bought online, is like 150$ USD, used is like 120 or less! i bought a refurbished 128mb 9800 pro right after Christmas for 160- USD
and yes, I do regret it... just a LITTLE bit, 50$ more would have gotten me the 256mb... or a 6600GT
but damn, under 200USD you might even be able to get a 9800XT, or a 6800NU

"Ultimate 9800 PRO - retail" with a badass fanless cooling solution and 256mb GDDR2, and it's under 200 US dollars
i also saw a 256mb atlantis sapphire 9800 Pro retailed at 165$, which is what i spent for half the ram and same card :P
