For that much you should probably wait.

If you can find a 8600 GT at that price point, get it, otherwise try the Radeon HD 2600 XT.

For just under £50 you could pick up a Sapphire HD 2600 Pro or XT which should do the job.

Having said that, I decided to stretch my budget a little and went for an XFX 8600GT. I'm also running this with 2 22" monitors and I have to say, I'm glad I spend a little extra on the card.
