Read this.
Also, the 460 is one of the better cards in the $200 range right now.

GTX 460 is the way to go. Newegg.ca has a Gigabyte one that is pre-overclocked for $199

GTX 465 is good as well but GTX 460 has the best price/performance ratio in the market right now

Not a huge difference right now in most games (GTA IV being one of the few exceptions I can think of off the top of my head), but likely a larger difference a few years down the road.

I haven't upgraded yet my video card yet. I'm still going for the GTX 460. I'm wondering if I should go for the EVGA one or the MSI one.
