I am in the process of upgrading my video card from MX420.

My system is a Dell 8200, 2.4 Ghz, 512 MB RAM.

I asked on Anandtech forums and they said that a 6800 NU is a better choice than 6600GT.

I am looking at ordering from newegg and my budget is 175-200$.

Just looking for an opinion from another place, what to get?

Thanks
 
For that you are going to need a 6800 GT. Don't expect to do that in newer games with the 6600 GT and even the 6800 NU will struggle in newer games. For what you want to do, you are limited to the 6800 GT and higher.
 
Oh yeah, a 6800GT will play anything at 1024 * 768, even a 6800 could do that... Stick with 6800gt, even a 6600gt could do that as long as you don't crank the AA up much..
 
Hmm....I play at 1280x1024 most settings high, low aa/af acceptable, HL2, BF2 , DOOM3. I have a Msi 6600gt overclocked, no problem. If his original budget was $200 you would be fine with a 6800. Otherwise to kickass in games and you can afford it, go for a 6800gt. Hope that helps.
