Do you have a monitor which is 3D ready?
Also what resolution are you looking to run your titles at? I think this is especially important as it determines how much video ram you need and what kind of shader architecture you need and the overall performance level of the card you require.
Im sure you would be very disappointed to learn that you had bought and inadequate card for the job. It would be effectively a waste of money, right? By the way all cards which are equal or less than the GTS250 have relatively less or the same performance as the HD 4850 you removed from your computer. To have effective 3D with the same level of image quality and the required doubling of framerates you would need a card which was from the high end of Nvidias range (GTX 275+) However these cards I hear are in short supply and to purchase now could net you far less performance for your dollar than a purchase in early 2010.
This is the reason why I felt that waiting a few months in your situation would be highly recommended
