Definitely the 5830.  By far the best value for that pricerange.  I just picked up 3 of them myself, as all of the reasonably priced 5850's were backordered and 5870's are nearly non-existant at this point.
I agree, Get'em while they can be gotten. I wonder how much longer till you can't even get 5770's.

they seem to have a ~5%+ DOA rate, still worth it

I just bought a couple of those days back, and I think they have high rate of DOA.
Still testing...

I bought several of the 5850 version and every one is working great. No experience with the 5830.

5770 is your best bet though you may be able to run across a used 5830. I will be selling several 5770s next week for less than $100 USD equivalent in BTC, each shipped to USA. PM me if interested.

Edit: there you go, NewEgg previous post.

I'd like to spend no more than $110 or so on a video card.

What's the best card at that price range?

Hello, I want to buy a videocard for playing games (my GeForce 8600 is quite outdated by now...)

So, what videocard has the best cost/benefit related to bitcoin mining and still can be used to play games occasionaly?
