Is this a good card, or is anything better for the price range?

probably for the money as good as you can go, i was going to suggest the 550Ti but it doesnt appear to hold a candle to the 6850
The 6870 is just a few bucks more after rebate.

more streaming processors, over 100 more
Higher core clock (900mhz vs 775mhz), 160 more streaming processors, slightly higher memory clock, and an extra Mini DisplayPort.

There's also a mail-in rebate for the 6870 that'll bring it down to 167.99.
