I need advice.

Gentlemen and Ladies, (Alphabetical order, not order of respect)

I need your advice.

A year ago, my gaming rig caught on fire due to power surges and I lost my original GPU.

I had a 2GB ATI Radeon 6970 manufactured by HIS.

Now I've got a cheap PNY GeForce 6700.

What would be an affordable yet powerhouse GPU.

Affordable being in the 80-110 dollar range.

My CPU is an intel i7 970 Extreme @ 3.2 GHZ with 6 GB DDR5 2000 mHz RAM.

Suggestions please?

80-110 dollar range.

Nope

Yea When I mean Powerhouse, I mean able to run games like Company of Heroes at about 40-50 FPS.

I'm not talking 6 GB Radeon's here.

Radeon 7770 (less expensive but comparable to the Nvidia 650ti.) And this card has a higher memory clock for $10 more compared to _Sushi's card.

Nvidia 650ti (more expensive, but more power)

Those aren't bad guys, thanks for the input.

I have a 3000 Dollar machine, with a temporary 60 dollar GPU due to bad circumstances.
