I have an older Dell XPS with a nvidia 7600GT that is dying. The -600GT cards are great for the money, and will run you about $150-$180 for the current generation. I play more or less the same games you do, and the 7600GT was fine for everything except SH4. It was playable but chugged at times. I'll be replacing it with an 8600GT for under $100, and maybe throw in another gig of RAM to keep me trucking until I can afford a new box.

PD
Yeah, I heard those Nvidia SLI's wouldn't improve the gaming performance..so I guess I could get one in the FX series or just a Nvidia 8600 or 8800 GS/GT for cheap if there ever is one under $100.
