I have to agree Novuake on this: The Nvidia 650 TI 1GB or 2 GB destroys most of AMD's offerings.

Here's a MSI offering of a 650 TI Boost 2GB that will be much better at 1080p that's $160.

Tom'sHardware's own review put it the best:

With the Radeon HD 7770 at $120, Radeon HD 7790 at $150, and Radeon HD 7850 above $180, Nvidia is rendering all three products ineffectual at their respective price points. With one swift stroke, the company engineered a hostile takeover of the $100-$200 market, increasing graphics performance at any given budget in that space. We're particularly excited about the...

We're particularly excited about the price/performance of a $150 GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 1 GB. Family-wide reorganizations like this remind us of the days when fierce competition took the GeForce 8800 GT under $200.

Hahah yeah best part "hostile take over", before the Boost version release Nvidia had almost no presence in the 100$-200$ segment, now they own it, quite sad since I nudge towards AMD, but I can't suggest an inferior more expensive product.

To answer your original question for AMD cards I find that Sapphire has the best value. MSI, Gigabyte, and ASUS are my favorite brands and make NVidia and AMD cards.

PCPartPicker has a lot of options at the $120-150 range. The MSI 1GB jumps off the page at $143 over the 7790's, though Novuake already points this out in above posts :D.
