Sweet Spot for video card?

K well I posted awhile ago some fucked up screens where I had hardcore distortion. Diagnosis was video card overheating.

So, I took the side off, cleaned the entire fucking thing with qtips, moved the sorrounding pci card shit as far away from vid card as possible, and parked a fan next to it.

It ran trouble free for about a month, now I cant have the computer on for more then 10min without it taking a shit on me, whether im stressing it or not.

So, time for a new card. The way I look at it, I was planning to upgrade this computer real soon anyway. So, I'm going to buy a vid card that I will put in my next computer, so I can use this comp for now.

The question is, what card? I'm running an ATI 9700 Pro now, obviously I want something significantly better. I'm goaling for top of the line, money isn't an issue. Yet, I dont want to pay 500$ more for the 3.6ghz over the 3.5 ghz if you know what I mean.

I have no loyalty to ATI or NVidia, i've had both fuck up on me, so i'm just looking for the best bang for my buck. Thanks~
