What card is plausible?

[Diesel-man3000]

I am looking for a card i currently do all my gaming on gateway 2400hd and usually on the xbox 360.I would like to play on the pc a lil more in this coming year seeing as starcraft 2 is coming out and a few other games i might be interested in.I currently have a 7900gs powering it at the moment but it drives the display fine for regular ativities on 1900-1200 res.Like I said is i want a card to maybe play on that res on medium settings for under 250$ or less really don't even want to spend that much.I was also wondering how gaming on a 24inch screen with native res of 1900-1200 is when you play at 1600-1200 because if it's not to bad i would probably be able to settle with a 9600gt or 3870.

You don't want to just "settle," do you? Anyway, the 3870 shouldn't have any problem running at 1920 x 1200 res. I'm running that res on a Sapphire HD 3850 512MB. However, you might want to also consider the 8800GT 512MB. MSI has a nice card, and people have said you can find it for about $205 on Newegg right now, with a rebate.

8800GT if you're looking at under $250.
