Sapphire x1900 XT £299. 
If not, x1800 XT 512mb for only £246.
Be aware that ATi cards produce more heat, and use more power, but if thats not a prob, then go for em as they are faster and cheaper than their Nv counterparts apart from the x1900, thats on par with the 7900 GTX, but the GTX's are way over £300.
Also if the heat/power is an issue you could look at the 7900 GT, but thats slower than the x1800 XT 512mb, and dearer, but still a stonking card.
Unless you want AGP, in which case the best card is the Gainward 7800 GS, which is actually a GT, just they aint allowed to call it a GT because Nvidia won't allow it.
