These are the cards -

OcUK GeForce 7800GTX SILENT Extreme 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) (GX-033-DE)

Connect3D ATI Radeon X1800 XT 256MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-044-CO)

I'd get the X1800 XT 256mb over the GTX and if you have the extra cash the 512mb XT

Yup. 256MB XT beats the GTX 256MB quite heavily and is about on par with a 512MB GTX after the recent drivers. OK, it will suffer at the highest resolutions but is quicker than the 256MB GTX in just about everything. It's also a lot cheaper than the others, so lower cost for higher performance - exactly what you asked for.
