Best Card for My Gaming System?

[xGhostFleax]

So I have about 150$ to spend on a nice graphics card. I know my board supports crossfire, but at 150$ I am staying with a single card. PS:160$ IS in fact my budget, but would rather spend the extra 10$ on Shipping. PSS: I am a pretty loyal ATI fan. Keep note that my 20" monitor only supports resolutions up to 1600x900. Gaming I do fine at 1280x720 in Crysis 2 playing extreme graphics, but needless to say, I wanna max out at 1600x900 on all my games with highest detail. So here is my system.

This is the best card for 150 but you need to make sure your psu can handle it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004W75ATI/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851 (free shipping with super saver shipping)

I never knew Sapphire had come out with this new version of the 5850! This is truely awesome! The 5850 IMO are some of the best cards ever made. Destroys the 5770 with ease. I have a 600w PSU so I should be fine.
