For where? I don't buy anything if it's not from Newegg. Well, not entirely true but for the vast majority of hardware needs, Newegg's going to be your best bet.

And you are certain your computer takes PCI Express, right?

Just go with the best geforce card you can afford.

7000 series:

8000 series (probably out of your price range):

Agreed, ATI's drivers make the baby Jesus cry.  I only know of one thing so far that's caused a blue screen in my limited work with Vista, and it was an ATI driver (NO WAY!!!11).  nVidia has by far better driver support, and the hardware on the two lines is generally comparable over a 2-year period.  Support makes all the difference in the lifespan and bang-for-the-buck.

For the record, I've been nVidia since they bought out 3DFX (and I was 3DFX before that... VOODOO 2 SLI FOREVER!, 12MB CARDS RULE!)

Never have had a blue screen with my ATi cards. The only time I've had a blue screen most recently was on my old HP and it used an nVidia card
