i would save a tad bit more money and snag a 7950. they are about $200 right now and a steal and will probably drop again in price after the 9xxx series launch

So your budget is about $150-$200? Personally I'd go with a 660 (non Ti with that budget)

But if I had to choose between the 650Ti and the 7850, I'd go with the 7850 hands down!

sorry forgot to mention that the price range is 100-200 preferably around 150

Just get a 7850: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/powercolor-video-card-ax78501gbd5dh

 

Great GPU that overclocks very nicely.
