The best 'price to performance'-option would be a Radeon 6850, but if you want to get away from the ATi reliabilty you're experiencing you can go for a GTX 460 which is slightly less powerful (won't be noticable in source games, I stll get 100FPS with full AA on my GTX260) and you get an Nvida which are generally more reliable. If you want something ABSOLUTELY CURRENT GEN you can go for the 550ti, less powerful than the 460, but boasts the newwest features that he GTX 500 series offers.
The 460 is 130 after rebates (150 before) right now and the 6850 is 140 after rebates (140-160 before). The 550 ti is around 130 without rebates and I honestly can't remember if I saw any rebates or not.
