I will post my vote for either the XFX 7800GT or GTX. Always just a matter of preference. Double your fun, empty your bank account and go for SLI.

ATI smell for opengl.
go with the 7800 gtx single or 2 gt's in sli. Make sure if you get amd64 don't be fobbed off with a socket 754 even tho hey are cheaper. always go with 939 and if possible I would suggest an AMD 4400 x2 dual core cpu.
If you post your budget then i'm sure I could knock you together a nice pc in 3's with links to everything on a bunch of good sites. Failing that hit me up on msn and we can surf some good stuff :)
I'm sure darkstar/pun/crush can suggest good mobo's and psu's theres a couple of links in forums already.
Just a matter of finding best prices from uk stores :)

Belive it or not the 1900xt and xtx beat the 7800 GTX 512 In pretty much every test. But If you go and get one your spending upwards of 600 bucks....

Exactly basiclly twice or a bit lkess than the cost of the 7800. I would go with nvidia all the time now, i'm not impressed with ati's customer service and latest ratings since D3 when I spent $400 on a 9800xt then the x800 series came out a week later. If I traded in they would have taken $50 for my card:/
then the bugger burnt out and I had to wait like 2 months to ship it to canada from england just to have a new one sent,, they even messed up the rma for 3 weeks which reulted in about 3 months without a gfx card.
As you can tell I have pretty strong feelings towards ati lol

I did too. I was at Fry's (and being out of the GPU game for a while wasn't sure what was hot) anyways, the dude tells me that the 9600SE will play D3 at a respectable resolution, eye candy. WRONG. So I bought a 68GT and been a devotee ever since. I think ATI makes good quality stuff but Nvdia makes a good balance of performance and price IMO.

But, as far as "Image Quality" goes, Many would say that ATI has always been king....

Agreed. I do think that they have better AA in most instances...

I'm the exact same... aside from going from 512- 1024 ram in December I haven't updated my computer in about 2 years, so I've lost touch with any sort of new hardware.
