The 6870 is going to be the est bang for the buck in that range.

They are SLIGHTLY more than 150 before rebates. But if you can kick in the extra few bucks it would be worth it over the 6850. The 460 competes with the 6850, so if you can't get the 6870 choose between those two. they are around 130 before rebates.
