my current 2.4ghz quad core 16gb ram pc only has a HD3650, but it seems mostly powerful enough. hl2 and gmod run in full 1080 and 100+ fps steady MW2, MW3, Skyrim, Mass Effect a 1+2 and black ops all run at steady 40-60 at 1280x720 max settings no AA
I want to run these games at full 1080 (native to my monitor) and no AA (not a huge fan and i find it requires more expensive cards) and be future proofed for mass effect 3 and some other games coming soon.
what would be a wise investment for under 150$? thats the most i can see myself spending on a card.
im sure nothing else in my PC is a bottleneck, even the PSU is rated much higher than what its used for
720p stretched to a 1080 monitor looks like shit. -__-

For $150, you could get a Radeon 6770, which is around $100-120. If you're willing to spend a few more bucks over $150 you could get a Radeon 6850. Both these cards perform like beasts.

You might wanna add a small section about taking into consideration if your case has enough room for a big bulky graphics card, or enough so it can vent properly and wont block any important data connectors. A long with some info if your motherboard has the right PCI slot.
