GTX560 or a HD6870, gigabyte has one gtx560 with a MIR ending up $169.99, that is probably the best deal below $200. I would strongly advice to step up a bit from that and get a HD6950 or a GTX560 TI, the difference isn't that big but it's the next step in performance, if you dont step up I would step down and get a GTX460/HD6850 they're just a bit slower than the HD6870/GTX560 and cost a fair bit less.

thats the best deal on newegg atm under $200 IMHO, $169.99 after mail-in rebate, comes with SHOGUN II, and it looks like you might be able to get Dirt 3 with it as well after registering the card, but I'm not sure how it works.

DVI or HDMI are the best and both give identical picture quality. Some prefer one over the other but realistically there is no difference.

i agree with ^^^^ HDMI will give you high def video and audio on a single cord, whereas DVI carries just video, so it depends what monitor/speakers/LCDtv you are using

alright good because i was planning to use HDMI thought it was inferior because of how simple it is and because it caries audio and video.

nah HDMI is the high def standard right now, xbox 360's, PS3's, bluray players, etc all output HDMI....DVI is popular in the PC community cuz a lot of PC people have their own sound setup using the sound board on their motherboard (the green, pink, blue, etc. female plugins on most motherboards) and don't need built-in speakers on their computer monitors
