I'm building my first desktop PC for some regular internet browsing and moderate gaming, and I plan on using the AMD FX-6300 processor. I'm on a budget of around $800 and I was wondering what sort of GPU I should use. I'm looking in the $150-$250 range. I have no preference over AMD or Nvidia.

See the part where it sais 8gb GDDR5.
The fact that we don't have 8gb vram doesn't mean it will all be ok. nvidia and amd are working to fix the problem as new ports will not have enough ram to run properly on the pc because of poor optimization.
One article about this can be found on toms as nvidia is developing a way to use system ram as vram for future cards along with a new interface exactly because of the lack of vram.
watch_dogs eats MORE than 3gb on ultra textures 1080p FXAA! I've actually tested this and my 3gb were all used and the game was freezing because of lack of vram.
I won't hijack this thread so i won't reply anymore but you should get more information before posting.

With regards to the 4gb of memory: Times are changing and most games are console ports that have 8gb of VRAM. Watch_dogs is a prime example needing 4gb of memory for ultra textures. I suspected this will be the case even before watch_dogs so thats why i suggested the 4gb card.
