If all you're going to do is graphics design then you want to look at either nVidia's quattro series or ATI's fireGL series. I don't really know anything about workstation cards so I can't tell you which one would be best to get, except that I can tell you right now that a budget of only $200 is not going to be nearly enough for a workstation GPU.

for 200$, you might as well go with a normal video card. i got myself a 4890 and it works great, but if you are set on a workstation, a firepro v4800 with 1gb ddr3 is 180$ + shipping and taxes.

but you might as well go with its gpu countepart(4830) for 90$
