I would go for one of the top 5. Higher is better.
Get one with 2Gb or more of memory if you can although my GTX570 1.28Gb runs it quite well at High settings with the usual suspects turned down (bulidings, forest)

If you can stretch the budget the best bang for buck is the new 3GB 660TI

strange how my old 9800 card is better than the 610 seeing as it's 1gb smaller & using older memory.

Wish manufactuers would come up with a better system for numbering their cards!

Second figure usually tells card position in the product range. 1 < 8
1st figure tells only card generation/series. (Was reset after switching from 4 digits to 3 digits)
