Question Which graphics card?

I'm leapfrogging my computers, my gaming pc currently has a 7600GS[Silent Edition] and my Media Centre has a 6600GTOC. I wanna buy a new card for my gaming pc and put the 7600GS in my media centre, however i'm tied between which card to get


I want raw power for my gaming PC, so a high-midrange card or a highend card is needed.

I could save up a few months for a 8800Ultra but i don't really wanna wait lol.

So these are my choices:

NVIDIA 8600GT 256MB: http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-8600GT-6...5487980&sr=8-2

NVIDIA 7600GT:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-PV-T73G-...5498361&sr=1-3

NVIDIA 8600GT 512MB:

8600GTS 2000Mhz Memory Clock:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Inno3D-Gefor...5498411&sr=1-2

My budget is about £120. I wanna play games like Rail Simulator, Flight Sim X, Crysis etc... games that are quite high end[well, the 2nd two ] but am on a budget.

I'll be updating the rest of the machine soon:

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ will be replaced with: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_...0&Go.y=0&Go=Go

Foxconn Mobo will be replaced with:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GA-...5498668&sr=1-1

And going from 2GB of DDR to 2GB of DDR2




Advice please thank you everyone
