Hi there.
Found a couple that managed to fit into your budget. Personally I would go with the 7850 and overclock the GPU since it has a very good dual fan cooler. SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7850 2GB ($249.99) ASUS GTX 560 Ti 448 1280MB DirectCU II ($279.99) $249.99 after Rebate |

Did you miss the part where he said "no overclocking"?
 anyway that 7850 is still a good choice overclocked or not.

One look at some summed performance charts will give you the idea. Then you can choose depending on what price you find each model:
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/N...TX_670/28.html Oh BTW, if you are not interested in Antializing, make sure you avoid video cards that come with twice the RAM of the standard model. It will be a complete waste of money for you. |

What about factory overclocked cards? Are you completely ruling those out as well?
