Which HDCP card?

I'm toying with the idea of getting myself one of those LG combo drives but my current graphics card (512mb x1900 xt) isn't HDCP compliant so that's going to have to be the first thing to look for. I don't spend that much time gaming anymore so I'm not really after a massive upgrade unless there's something around that's particularly good value, I wouldn't be fussed about upgrading at all were it not for the HDCP factor.

Budget is probably going to be about £150, I'm open to suggestions if there are good options for used cards to look at too.

Cheers :)

Cheers for that Monkeynut (you'd be popular around here, my parrot's anyone's for a monkey nut), I'm thinking the 3870xt would be worth the £10 extra though?

Anyone else got any suggestions? I've not been that up on video cards recently but I've read that the HD ATI's are better for films and the Nvidia's are generally better for gaming, is that about right? Is there anything cheaper out there that will do the job with Blu-rays with performance no worse than an x1900xt at 1680x1050?
