You might sqeeze in a 4850 for 95$ shipped.

Another option is a 4770 for under 100$ (newegg has em).

5670 is slower then above cards.

4850 1GB < $100 is better than 5670. 800 stream processors vs. 400!

Try to find 5750 ~ $100.

If you lay off the AA, 5770 512mb is $120:

4850/4890 is absolutely the best deal out there right now, don't waste your time with
anything new; just wait for for that return mail and tide yourself over. 4800 series is plenty.

Sorry for your loss, loosing a family member can be tough ....
