9800XT just bit the dust. Looking for a replacement

[adam cool dude]

Unfortunatly my 9800XT bit the dust last night and now running my trusty voodoo 5500 (They don't make them how they used to ). Only problem is i don't know what to get in terms of graphics performace. Im looking at a £300 budget max. I play my games @ 1280x1024.

Dunno if my system will be a bottleneck to the newer cards but here it is anyway.

AMD64 [email protected] (S754)
2GB Corsair platinum 2,3,3,6
WD Raptor 74GB
Antec 430 Truepower
MSI K8N-Neo Plat

Im in for trying out PCI-E as long as the mobo/GFX is within the budget although would i need a new PSU?

Now spec me

I'd probably opt for something like this as it should be good for overclocking as well. You don't need a new PSU but you may need a 4-6pin adapter(should come with the graphics card but you can buy separately for less than £5).
