I am looking to upgrade my entire machine in a few months when i get tax return money, so I would prefer if the card could just be moved over when the time comes.

I was looking at possibly a 5850 ati card, but am open to suggestions.
If you are carrying it over, then the 5850 is a good choice.

But it also depends on whether your new mobo will support crossfire/SLI or both etc. If you are planning on a SLI only mobo, then go for a nvidia card.
