This is a great time to buy "last gen" cards that people are throwing out in order to upgrade. I just scored a second hand GeForce GTX 275 for $165 shipped, with warranty :). Radeon 5870 and 5850 (slightly, for 5850) are faster than this, but the cheapest 5850 is about $100 more than what I paid. ED...

I use mainly

newegg.com
zipzoomfly.com
buy.com

Buy.com has many rebates not available on newegg.com, and they always have free shipping (for all the stuff I bought from them at least).
