FYI it doesn't need only a HDMI port. You can also get them with DVI and get a DVI>HDMI lead for less than a fiver.

Although a lot of Graphics Cards with HDMI will bypass audio from the soundcard, saves on cutting down cables.
Could pick up a Sapphire ATI 5570 which has HDMI/DVI/VGA ports and transports BD-Audio for £60. It's a bit weak on the gaming side of things although it'll handle COD4 without much trouble.
Otherwise you can get a Asus ATI 6850 (EAH6850), has 2xDVI/HDMI/Displayport ports for £145 ish or the marginally better Sapphire HD 6850 (11180-00-40R) for 10 quid more. Both decent cards.
If you want Nvidia then you can pick up a GTX 460 or GTX 465 (Palit NVIDIA GTX 465 card) for £150-160.
If you're not worried about pushing audio down the HDMI then as Brett said, just get a DVI to HDMI converter.
