Advice on choosing a card, mainly 260-280?

[iholly]

I am almost done with my build, only the GPU left. I want to play mostly newer games Fallout 3, Bioshock, Wow, Farcry 2 etc. (not crysis) on good settings on a 21.5" screen.

My question is should I go with a 275 or a 260 or what? I don't really want to Sli or crossfire.

Here are some cards I was thinking about:


BFG 260

BFG 275

EVGA 280

Here is my build.

Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!

is money an issue? if not get the 275, it will pair up nicely with the rest of your rig

Thanks for the reply.
It's not an issue if it is actually going to noticeably improve my performance. I just don't want to shell out the dough for minute differences that I won't even notice.
I hear the 275 is a very good card. On Newegg right now though the 280 I linked is the same price...
