GTX 470 and GTX 560 are your options really. The 560 won't be out until late January.

I agree with the GTX 560 but the 470 to be honest is a bit of a rip off.

Well I'd like to throw the HD 6870 and 6950 in there but he specified Nvidia for the 3D so if you buy now that's the only realistic choice. At $250 in the US it's not bad value, don't know what you can get in Greece though.

We haven't seen reviews or pricing on the 560 yet, but if it's 384 shaders/820MHz as rumoured and <$250 also then that would be great value.

Yes; 3D is demanding so a GTS 450 wouldn't be enough of an upgrade, and GTX 480 or 570 is above your price range for not much more performance. The GTX 460 1GB would probably be OK if the 470/560 was far too expensive.
