9800GT runs for ~$100.
Otherwise, if you can stretch it a bit, the 9800GTX+ or hd4850 are great choices for ~$150

8800gt or 9800gt , both are great cards in your price range

You could probably get a used 8800 GT for a decent price in the classified section.

Well for that price range I would say a Radeon 4830 or 9800GT. If you look around you should be able to find a 4850 for that price after rebate.

I've been looking at the 8800gt's and the 9800gt's I came across this

I have 2 8600gts both from MSI. They can OC, but they don't go to far. I've only tried a couple of times and never really got any good results. Can you post some of your results? I would like to try once more with these two cards.

Don't be tricked by the 8800GTS. That card is the 320MB version, and it performs worse than the 8800GT 512 MB by far.
