Best non gamer VC under $150 for i7-2600K

[someone19]

Machine specifications are as follows:
i7-2600K
8Gb RipjawsX 1600 CL9
Asrock P67 Extreme4
128GB Crucial C300
1TB Samsung F3
Antec Earthwatts EA650

I'll be installing into an old full tower case, designed for basic airflow.

Budget is $150, but I don't game pretty much at all. Mostly a power user system, but I want it to last several years. I know the MB I'm buying is SLI/Crossfire, but I really don't ever anticipate using that functionality.

I will buy from newegg, unless another site is just that big of a price difference.

Frankly I'm overwhelmed by choice, I think that getting a DX11 card will hold up in the future of win8 and the browsers of tomorrow, but I currently have a NEC multiSync 95 tube monitor capable of 1600X1200 and won't be upgrading until this one dies.

Suggestions for a solid card?

for a non-gaming system GTS 450 or 5750/70/5830 will be OK, you can find some cheap on newegg, probably 5830 for around 150$ and 5770/450 for 100$ after rebate

Just pulled the trigger on : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102878 based on some reviews:

Thanks for the time to look. I rushed the purchase before the extreme4 sold out again, and for $130 I think its going to be a hard value to beat.
