Video Card Recommendation

I currently have a nVidia GeForce 6800 oem card installed in a Dell. I am
looking for a "biggest bang for the buck" card to replace the 6800.

The only games I play right now are FSX Acceleration and CoD 4. I would
like to get a card that can handle these games well, with enough power to
play near future titles.

I don't want to spend more than $150, but a few bucks over that is okay too.

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

At the $140 price point (non-rebate right now price) you can't beat this
512Mb 9600GT
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150304
They're actually a very solid, decent performer and come in typically $40
less than the rebated price of a 512Mb 8800GT.....like this ECS 8800GT 512Mb
at $180 real price
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814134028

Newegg has a number around the $180 price point...but many rely on a $30-35
rebate....which you get eventually, but it's still $210-$215 up front.
There's really no difference in these standard 8800GT 512Mb reference
boards. All basically identical in build and performance. The open, more
efficient and more quiet fan of the others is a plus. But is it a $30 right
now plus to you?

Thanks. I'm gonna try the XFX card.
