Without a doubt in that budget it is the GTX 460

that is the models newegg carries
the two Asus with DirectCU cooling are the best in my opinion
the 768mb is 164.99 and the 1gb is 200

One disclaimer is what is your power supply?
That is crucial

The GTX 460 768mb fits your budget perfectly. The GTX 460 1Gb is just out of your range but worth it in my opinion. Don't get a 460 SE. SE stands for 'Sucky Edition'. I like EVGA because of the warranties they offer.
Make sure you have at least a 600 watt power supply from a quality manufacturer, Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, Thermaltake, OCZ etc. Check out jonnyguru if you are in doubt of what is a good power supply.

This Asus 768 is the best from all the reviews for the money
after rebate it is 134.99

that DirectCU cooling is getting raves all around the web
if your into to overclocking that card is sweet
