U should refer to Best Graphics Cards for the money here in TH.
As per the article: (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-performance-radeon-geforce,3018.html)

U could look for a GTX 560 or HD 6870.
I think 6870 is a bit faster, but GTX 560 have physx (I like it btw, a nice feature in batman for example), and the VGA coming with Batman Arkham City

Increase your budget if you want max settings.

AMDs hd 7000 series gpus are expected to arrive in early q1 2012.So you might wanna wait for few months.Else go for the 6870s as it performs better than 560 with almost identical power consumption.
