hi. i'm building workstation to do video editing, photo processing and 3d modeling on... my budget for the graphics card is about £150 ($260), which card would i be best off with?
also would i be better off getting a cheaper card and spending more on ram? or perhaps a cheaper cpu and more ram or better graphics card?

this is what the rest on the machine looks like..

CPU: Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83GHz 1333FSB 12MB L2
Memory: 4GB (2x2GB) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory
Hard Drive: RAID-0 500GB (250GBx2) SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 8MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
Monitor: 24" 1920 x 1200

thanks!!
