I'd say that the pecking order and reasoning goes like this. Go for 8800GT if you can afford it. There are some very good deals for it. It depends on where you live though. Beware the 256MB version. The memory amount really brings down the performance in this card.

If the 8800GT is too expensive get Ati's 3870. Almost the same performance in SHADER intensive games wise but in some titles the speed is not so good as 8800GT 512MB.

If 3870 is too expensive still. Get At's 3850. Or check the 3850 vs 8600GTS reviews. I have no time to do so now.

Below those said 8600GTS or 3850 buy a used card dirt cheap.

Also since you can't really play any DX10 titles on 8600GTS well older DX9 era cards really are good. You can practically get X1950 Pro for free. Anyway any card you choose is a definite up-grade to your current 9250.

Flying under radar.
