Will supplement a Intel D875PBZ Mobo and 1 gig ram (256x2 Samsung 256x2 Crucial Ballistix) and a harddrive.

Trying to stay around $300-400 bucks (yes i broke my budget already, but i think this systems should have some longevity). Plan on using this to just do some general work (excel, word, surfing, watching movies, etc) and some light gaming as well as some lan parties. Many have had good luck with the 6800gs and I though with it unlocked and slightly overclocked to close GT levels I'll be good for some time. Forget about the CPU overclock the mobo won't allow it (except a brief 5% in burn in operation).

I'd like some suggestions or opinions.
 
Pretty much in this section it's laptops and SFF boxes. You'd probably get better advice in General Hardware.
