On the NVidia site everything from 8600gt or 9000 series will easily do and they probably will be in your price range, too.

Edit: DO NOT GET A 7950 Card, this is two generations old and you will get a faster newer card for the same price or way cheaper!

Edit2: King of Kings solution is quite nice for a cheap and quite good card, this one would be way more powerful (i consider it an extremely good offer for its price), just costs 1.5:

Newegg.com - Recertified: EVGA 512-P3-N841-RX GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Good Ati Cards:
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100255L Radeon HD 4670 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
Newegg.com - MSI R4650-D512 Radeon HD 4650 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
If the bolded card is the best in its price range i will most likely deff. grab that one.

Hopefully this boosts me into the 60 fps range.
