I think the Nvidia model would be a much better choice. From some

Guess it will only give some improvement if you game a lot, and even
so the sawtooth cpu is already the bottleneck on the 6200.
keep in mind that 6800 need good Power Supplys..

I agree that you may need to check you power supply to make sure it
can handle it, but gaming is not the only instance where hadware
graphic acceleration is helpful. Anything graphics/video intensive
will almost certainly benefit. I am not sure how that argument of the
CPU being a bottleneck is
if the video card draws too much power from the power supply, what
will the symptoms be?
if that turns out to be the case, i suppose i can rig an external 5v/
12v power supply with a molex connector to supply the card

The new card would probably have better and/or more pipelines, pixel
shaders...etc and the GPU clock speed will be faster.
