You could probably pick up a HD4850 for around €50 on adverts.

First questions would be what is your monitor resolution and what types of games do you want to play?

To be honest buying new you are going to be fairly limited with that budget unless your resolution is low and/or your games not too demanding. cork45 second hand suggestions might be the best way to go.
