Good ATI video card on a budget

[patches_mcfluffy]

I'm looking for a new video card to run Modern Warfare 2 smoothly. I want something that will last me for a few years. If there are any video cards that someone can recommend that are not too expensive ($100 or lower) but can also can run games very smoothly I'd love to hear the suggestions.

my system is ASUS M3A78-EM AM2+ motherboard, AMD 6000+ dual core cpu, 4 gigs ram

the motherboard has an on board ATI 3200 HD card, but it does not run games well at all. What would yall recommend?

IF you have a decent PSU I'd say a 4770. A 4850 is a little more powerfull if you can find one for a price you like.

If you're willing to go up to $160, this HIS card is a crazy beast: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161299&cm_re=his_hd_4890-_-14-161-299-_-Product
I purchase it after a fair bit of research, and it really is an awesome card. Plays pretty much anything on über high.
You're system totally sounds like it could probably handle it. I only have 2 gigs of RAM in mine!
It would definitely be a card that would last you a fair while.

thanks for all the advise.. but the only problem is my motherboard only has a 4 pin power connect for it.. and i think the 4770 needs a 6 pin
