Not forgetting the FX5800 also...hehe. I run an Asus V9900 (FX5800) and a Gigabyte Radeon 9800Pro and the differences are practically non existent.
If you can't spend too much then the FX5600 or Radeon 9600 are your best bets but if you can put a bit more into it, the FX5900 or 9800Pro are your state of the art for today. (within reason)
If you want to go between a FX5900 and 5600 then get the 5800 like I did. It's an amazing card and if you bench test it along with the 9800Pro you won't be disappointed as the results are slightly apart. Then again I preffer to let the games do the talking as opposed to the bench tests but that's just my cup of tea.
