I bought my video card 18 months ago for $150 and it plays the game with smooth frame rates with the graphics almost turned to maximum (with antialiasing off of course).  (if your wondering, its a Radeon X1600XT).  You don't need a top of the line card to play this game.

*edit* looks like my card now sells for $70-$90 link

I only have an agp slot, but after looking at your link i may be able to find a decent enough card at that price for my rig.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think any PCIe cards have Shader Model 3 but you better check that.  This game does require SM3.  I was in the same boat as you last year.  I found that even though most of my computer would be fine for playing current PC games I needed to finally upgrade to a board with PCIe slots so I could use a next-gen graphics card.   Even if I was willing to accept less performance.  It also allowed me to make a massive jump in CPU power.
