Ok, so my card(Radeon hd 4870) is going, and I need a new one. Problem is, I have a tight budget($200). I was looking at the R7 260, or ASUS GT640-2GD3 GeForce GT 640 2GB 128-Bit DDR3. Not sure if either are even any good though. I am running:
AMD FX 8120 8 core at 4.0GHz,
Asus M5A 78L-M LX motherboard,
and I think my power source is 628-ish(OCz).

Seconded.
However - shop around a bit. You may be lucky and find some previous generation cards that you can SLi or Crossfire for cheap. A bit over a year a go I finally replaced my aging 9800GTs with a pair of GTX 460s that I got at Microcenter for $35 each. So, with a respectable overclock, within spitting distance of modern $200 cards for $70.
I'm not saying to get old tech if you can afford new, but keep your options open.
