gpu upgrade suggestions

My 9600gt is not ideal for the new games coming out, and i've wanted to upgrade it for a while, but the next card i get i wont be upgrading for a long time, so i want something that will last hopefully. Also bearing in mind i play at 1360x768, i shouldnt need a beast of a card, but i want something that will run the latest games maxed out at that res. Im not certain i will be able to buy a new card, but i'd like some feedback as to what would be good, so far the 5770 has been my choice, but i've heard alot about the nvidia 460 card (i think thats what it is :S), and people saying its slightly better.

Yeah i've heard a lot of good things about it, but it costs a lot of money and i dont think im prepared to spend £160 + for that card, its just too much. On the other hand, i've been looking at the 4x series ati cards on amazon, and there is a 4890 going quite a bit cheaper than the 5770, what would you say about this? To me it seems like an amazing deal, surely the 4890 would be a lot more powerful?

Ok its looking like the xfx 5770 is going to be my choice if i upgrade, because unfortunately i cannot install the xfx4890 due to its stupid power connectors xD. Thx anyway for the advice, i wish i could get the nividia, but it looks too chunky for my matx board, and also its not cheap :/!
