You can go for the HD7850 if you game on 1920x1080p

GTX 660 is another option . Even so bottoleneck might occur in some recent games but 95% times your ok

forget 6850 that is a bad bunch
You can probably afford 7850 for $160

The processor will be a bottleneck in a handful of modern games, but not many and not too badly. What types of games do you play, and at what resolution?

I'd say 7770 if you are on a budget but 7850 if you just want the performance. Personally, unless I had plans to upgrade the CPU in the future, I'd go with the 7770 in this particular case.

It's certainly a good card, and it will move along nicely if you decide to upgrade that CPU, which probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Maybe get one of the new batch of Intel CPUs coming soon.

For that much money you are better off with 7950 considering you are not close minded and accept the fact that latency issue was fixed.
