I currently have an MSI Geforce 6600GT video card. It is PCIe and has 128MBs of memory. I want something a little more powerful as I have noticed that certain games (Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142) can really slow the card down if a lot of things happen at once. I've built 3/4 of the computers in our house, but I've been "out of the technology loop" for a while. Here's what I'm looking for:

Nvidia based (none of that ATI crap)
PCIe x16
256MB of GDDR3 memory
Able to play BF2142 on MAX (or close to it) w/ no problems
Costs less than $250 shipped
Must be off Newegg.com or other major legit site

I have a 400watt Antec Smartpower 2.0 Power supply with a PCIe connector, so I guess I'm okay there. Anybody got suggestions or major benchmarking results for new cards? I've already found these and wondered if they are any good:

The XFX 7600GT is a cheap ($130 last I checked) card that can be easily overclocked (Mine's at 600/800).

But, I really think you should wait until mayish when the cheap DirectX 10 boards will be starting to come out.
