Are you developing a AAA game? If not, you probably don't need to spend a lot on a graphics card.

It depends what you plan to do with your machine, be honest now, are you planing on playing some nice games on high settings?

How much are you looking at spending here?

[othertomperson]

For what resolution? What games do you want to play? What kinds of graphics quality, and what framerates are you hoping to hit? What is your budget?

Depends on what game you want to make, graphics demanding games require stronger GPU.

whats your budget? include form of currency aswell. 

whats do you plan on doing with this machine? just make the games? play them?

I think the most important information we'll need to give a proper recommendation is what kind of workload are you going to do.

A programmer and a graphic designer uses very different software. If you're going to just make small games, you're probably not going to use the heaviest software and can cut down on the cost. 

Simply said, what exactly do you plan to use it for(workload and main software), and is there something on the side you also wish for?

If you start by creating small game then you don't have to get superior GPU.
