Would this be the best option at the $100 price point...

I hear Mandy is good as long as you don't look too long at her face. Or were we talking about computer components?

But really, that's the best you're gonna get at that price point. The next comparable thing is the NVidia GTS 250 at roughly $110.

Yep, the 4850 512mb offers good performance for $100.

Yea if you want to buy a new power supply, for about 10 to 20 dollars more get a 4770.
great performance and low power draw.. the 4770 will use from 70-80 watts fully stressed the 4850 will use 110-120 watts.. and you can expect about 15-20 fps more from the 4850 but its not a big deal... check 0ut this site

Or you can wait a bit for the 5750 512MB version to come out and get around the same performance level for $10 more... but you get DX11, Eyefinity, and lower power consumption.
