Need video card advice fast

Hello all, me again. Looking to get rid of my ATI RAEDON 9700 PRO for a NVIDIA card. I looked and saw a BFG GeFORCE 6200 OC card for around 150 at my local Best Buy and I picked it up. Now before I open the box and make it unreturnable I read some reviews and I am getting mixed feelings about this card. Is this budget card any good or should I hold out for something a little better. I am trying to stay under $200. I play games so everything I do on the computer is very grafix intensive. I need a replacement for this 9700 P, Thanks.

Some more info here... I just looked and I can get a PNY 6600 GT for $158 on tiger direct, so the same price I paid for the 6200 OC, thinking of holding out. Your thoughts?

Hold out a little longer... For 160ish you can get a PowerColor X800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCIe from newegg... (i have mine! great card!)

 

OK I returned the 6200 OC and saw they have a PNY 6600 for around the same price I can get a 6600 GT from tigerdirect or newegg. is the GT that much better that I should wait a few days or will the 6600 work just as well for me? Thanks.

wait a few days... If you go with with the 6600 you will just end up upgrading sooner.
