^7850 2GB nuff said

Stretch your budget to grab one of these 2GB models

A cheaper 2GB model is this one which will not be as good for overclocking (due to weaker cooler) but will still do fine

if you want to stay well within your budget grab one this 1GB model

Yeah, a 7850 1GB is easily your best option in your price range right now. If you can stretch the budget just a little, you can get a 7850 2GB instead of a 7850 1GB. It's a little better.
