Best under $100?

As i've mentioned twice before on the LTT forums, i'm working on parts rational for a $400 dollar build
I've decided to go with a FM2 CPU on an FM2/FM2+ MoBo in case they release kaveri without graphics by the time i have the cash, and i thus need a discrete card

I've seen the HD7770 for around $100 on a few sites, but only in it's 1GB format. I'd like to have a 2GB card, but it's not needed.
I've also seen the cards Linus said outright not to get for around the same price(R7 240 and 250) and i also see the GTX 640 in that range as well.

So my question is this: What is the best GPU for UNDER $100

thanks for all the replies :)
I'm not seeing any of the above mentioned cards for under $100 on newegg, but i'll keep looking
I've got a long time to go before i get my upgrades, so who knows, the R9 2xx line might drop to a better price
