I want to be able to run most games on at least the 2nd highest screen resolution, at med-high detail. I dont expect to play bf3 on ultra, but i do expect to play skyrim on ultra lol.

BTW the max i will pay is $140 without tax or rebates.
 
The 5850 is last gen. I'd personally get the 6870, but I think that's over your budget. ;)

I think the 6850 will be fine for what you play.
 
Why are all two votes to the 5850 then?
Because the 5850 does have a little more "oomph" than the 6850.

However, I don't think the 5850 is really in your budget, assuming purchase in the US.
Cheapest one I found is used for $150 on Amazon (here).
While the 6850 is new for $140, -$15 MiR = $125, (here).
 
6850 or get a cheap 6870. I bought the cheap his 6870 on newegg and its great. I am glad I did. Skyrim runs great everything maxed 2xaa and,16xaf @ 1080. Of course my 4 ghz 960t helps t out too.
