Since I pretty much stopped gaming a long time ago I decided not to upgrade my GPU when I upgraded my system a few years back. Now though I'm finding that my X1800xt is just too old and won't actually work with a couple of photo/video programs. So I think it needs replacing.

My system:

i7 2600k
8GB RAM
X1800XT
OCZ Vertex 3 120GB

Looking to spend about £120 max.

Requirements:

OpenCL compatible (so that http://www.filmconvert.com/help/default.aspx?help_id=16 works)
OpenGL 2.0 minimum (so that http://www.ononesoftware.com/products/effects8/specs/ works)
Needs to be capable of running a 2560x1440 screen via DVI and a 1280x1024 screen via VGA/DVI

CUDA enabled would be nice too.

I've been out of the game far too long in the GPU department so really got no idea what the best value is. Last time I looked briefly the GTX580 was deemed pretty good value for money however they don't seem easy to come by anymore.

So, any recommendations?
