I'm not sure of the exact prices you are looking at in Sweden (or what kind of deal you are getting on that GTX 275) but i would recommend ether looking at ATI's Radeon 5850 or waiting for nVidea to release their new 300 series. The 5850 is a much better price vs performance than anything nVidea can offer right now.

The 275 is cheaper than the 5850. Does the 5850 offer a lot higher performance since it is almost 30% higher in price? (Due to the sparkle being on campaign.)

The 300 series is out. It's just renamed low end 200 cards made for OEMs. They'll probably fill out the rest of the line by renaming the rest of the GTX200 cards after Fermi is released. The Fermi cards will be the GTX400 series.

The GTX275 is DX10, and will soon be replaced by whatever Nvidia calls their mid-ranged Fermi card. The 5850 is DX11 and supports Ifinity.

The pricing prediction for nVidia's fermie isn't looking too good.

Watched that video and picked the cheaper dx 10 card due to not being impressed. :)
