    Your best bet at the top end of you budget would be either the brand new GT550 Ti boost (The boost part is very important) or a HD7850 1GB which are in and around the same performance bracket and about 150 or so.

    Just below that would be the also new HD7790 which should be available soon in the 120-130 region. They would all be preferable to a HD7770 if you can stretch a bit.

    Not sure retailers have much stock of either the GT650Ti Boost or the HD7790 yet but they should be getting more widespread in the coming weeks.

    The new 650ti boost is a very good card it's just how much you can get it for . According to Bit-tech its neck and neck with the 7850 .
