Graphic card on a budget

So here is the deal. Until recently I have used a 8600 gt in my gaming rig but I upgraded everything else and that card has crashed. I was intending on getting a 6970 from amd's retail edge program but so far that has fallen through. Now the requirements: I want it better than the 8600 gt which shouldn't be hard. I only have a 4 pin conection on the mobo. My power supply should be easy since it is 750 watts. And the most limiting factor is my budget which is around $150. I bought a pny 430 which is just a temp card to run my computer while I figure all this out. Thanks!

If you can squeak out just a few more bucks and/or are willing to play the rebate game:
