Default Upgrading from a FX5500, need suggestions

I'm looking at getting a new graphics card to replace my Geforce
FX5500. My system still has reasonably decent specs (3ghz p4/ht, 1gb
ram, etc), but my card is dismal for running any of the newer games.
I've got about $200 to spend on this. Right now, I'm looking at the
7600GS, although I could be persuaded to get something different pretty
easily. If I do buy a 7600GS, where should I get it, XFX, BFG Tech, or
PNY? Thanks.

I am also in the process in upgrading my FX5500 to a 7600GS. I am waiting
for it to arrive as they were out of stock as they are in high demand. I
payed about $180 Australian which was the cheapest i found. you may find
