Nvidia's fermi chip comes out next this month on the 26th, if you can wait till the end of the month, you might be able to snag a VC for less. Especially if you're shopping around the high-end of the market.
I wouldn't expect any price drops at anything below $250 though, since Nvidia is only releasing their premium gear.
I would recommend the HD 5770 if you want to buy now.

If you're looking for DX11 support I'd go with the 5770. If you're not I'd get either a 4870 or a 4890. The 4870 runs a bit faster than the 5770. And the 4890 would be a bit better than both but it won't have DX11 support.
5770 for DX11
4870/4890 for a tad but more performance
What resolution do you plan on playing on?
