Best among consumer-level graphics card:
GTX280 - $849
Most value for money, in my opinion:
HD4850 (ranked 7th) - $247
HD4870 (ranked 3rd) - $349
Based on pricelist from Video Pro. Pricelists can be found online at:

Ask them which is the most expensive card on the shelf now. Latest and most expensive. And wala!
good graphic card for gaming (heavy duty).
Or consider getting another 8800GT and connect both in SLI, if your motherboard and PSU are able to support them.
There are too many discussions out there regarding 8800GT SLI vs HD4870 and other comparable cards, so I'll pass you the Google Search link and leave the reading to you.

i do play quite some games heavily, but since o lvels coming i temporary stop
currently, i am running a 3870x2, all the games can play at high, except crysis
Crysis i set it at 1680x1050, no anti aliasing, graphics medium
other games like cod4, all max out
What motherboard are u using? if urs supports sli, wait till some more new nvidia graphic cards.
If you are a ATI fan, 4870x2 is coming out! and that is POWERFULL!!!!
a 4870X2 is pwnage. =)

as long as it is PCI-express 2.0 x 16
u can use 8800gt 4870x2 sure can use one
But ur powersupply need at least 650watts to be safe
Asus 4870 now cost around $492, the 4870x2 when it reach here would be around maybe 800+ lor

IS this ur motherboard?:- http://sg.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=563&l4=0&model=1808&modelmenu=2
HOw many PCI express 2.0 x16 slots are there? if there is onli 1, u can onli put 1 graphics card, if there is 2, u need to find out ur mobo supports 2 ATI graphic card or 2 Nvidia graphic card
But usually 1 good graphic card is enough
