I currently have a Athlon 550 with a v770 ultra. I was wondering if upgrading to a geforce 3 ti200 would be worth it since it's in the sub $200 range. I mainly use my computer for general activities (word processing, internet) and I like to play rts games. I don't really have the money for a complete overhaul right now. So will the difference be worth the $175?

If your playing RTS games mostly then to be honest I doubt you really need something as powerful as a GF3 Ti200... and even so, with only an Athlon 550MHz you will be completely processor limited.
Your better off buying a lesser video card and using the money saved to upgrade your processor.
