My old graphics card just died, and I need to find a good replacement. I do some gaming, but it's all stuff that's a few years old; Team Fortress 2, Spore, Morrowind/Oblivion, etc. What's a good card that would run those sorts of games well?
 
Solution
I was talking about the XFX card which is $170.
If your resolution is 1680x1050 or above I would recommend going with the HD5770.
If your resolution is below 1680x1050 and the HD5770 is more than you really want to spend something like this is a nice card for the price and would do very well;

For comparison the HD5770 is 25-30% faster and DX11 compatible while using less power.

If you have good case airflow to begin with a card that exhausts outside the case isn't necessarily the best choice. The card you recommended is also over the budget the OP has stated.
