Well for 150$ you could go with the used route. Lets see do you live in the U.S.A or some other place?

While I, regrettably, don't have any specific recommendations at the moment, I do suggest that while searching you ensure you've checked for good-condition used cards if you're on a tight budget. This isn't to say you should always buy new, certainly not, only that so long as a used card hasn't been damaged or used extensively in hard-performing applications like bitcoin mining, it is an option to consider.

Its just for a future build that I plan on doing for a family member, some medium gaming with school work to. I also do live in the US

Well there are plenty of used cards on Ebay like the 7870

That is very overpriced. You can get a GTX 760 for the same or less on Ebay.

The 7870 would beat the 750 ti. Hell. Used isn't always bad you know? And new isn't always good. Sometimes the previous generation is just as good.

^This. For $150 you can get a 7950, which is a monster for the price. Who knows, maybe you could even manage to find a 7970 for a bit more. That'll beat a 770.

Find yourself a nice Radeon HD 7950 or 7870. The 750Ti is alright, but for $150 you can do so, so much better than that. Seriously, the 7950 can trade blows with my 960, and my 960 is running at 1523MHz on the chip.

Oh, I should mention. The R9 280, which is basically a rebranded HD 7950 is also an option, as well as the 280X, which is the 7970. The R9 270 and 270X are the 7870 and 7870GHz Edition respectively. I think. I could be wrong!
