Aawww. You know, there's no true love. Just fervent sexual longing. *grabs jmac, holds him tight in a manly way and strokes his golden curly hair* And it's sooo much better...
quit the clownin'...this isnt the swamp/ahto ;)
8600 for a good budget card....absolutely.
I prefer XFX cards, but theyre always a bit more expensive.. :(
Heres one... $145 for the XFX aint too bad:

Dont forget, XFX are one of the rare hardware manufacturers that offer a LIFETIME warranty ! Which says a heck of alot about their Quality Assurance/Control...
please do *not* get a 7300 - they are a caching card....and in Vista work even worse... (vista drivers arent handling 7 series GPU caching as well as xp drivers, of course)
