8800GS will be much higher than ur budget...get a factory overclocked 8600GT (with 256MB DDR3 memory...not 512 DDR2)...higher cards wont be able to perform at full strength bcoz of ur procy and mobo

^his proccy is good enough to run those cards.i'd suggest getting a 9600gso only if u want some long timer.it will cost 1k more.
Else the msi/palit 8600gt 256mb is fine.

not so much under the stock condition i presume
anyways...9600GSO is always a much better card than any 8600GT if raising budget is possible

there's no 9600GSO by any other brand .go for a 8600gt then

and FYI Palit also controls Gainward btw.no one ever has posted a complaint anywhere + the cards dont have any issues at all.besides EVGA and XFX use Nvidia's design and sell restamped models.ok evga does some ocing..only brands like ASUS/MSI/PALIT/Leadtek do some work to make things better,at least in cooling dept.

MUCH BETTER. For the resolutions used in a 17" screen, 6600GSO performs the way 8800GT does on a 19" WideScreen LCD screen.

6600GSO is an old card. will it be good enough to play the above games at medium-low settings on a 17" CRT monitor.

what is the likely cost of a 8600GT 256MD DDR3?

To keep things in perspective, my son plays COD4 with a 7600GT, AMD64 single-core 3000+ and 1GB RAM. It shows noticeable frame drop only when all settings are pushed very high. Crysis is quite playable. I don't know about the other games as I don't play games much myself. An 8600GT-E4500 combo is much faster than this.

PSU=Power supply

Overclocking- increasing the default speed of your ram/processor/graphics card..like if ur processor is 2.4ghz and u run it on 3.4ghz or anything more than 2.4ghz, its overclocking.i dont think ur motherboard supports it though
