I never spend more than 240euro's for a videocard. And at the moment I wouldn't spend more than that on one either. After a year a 500euro card is only worth 200, if it isn't less, so I rather buy a card that has been on the market for a while and dropped in price than buy the best there is and see the same card for half of the price 1/2-1year later.
