What's a decent upgrade from 9600gt with 159$ cap?

Hi all.

i really don't want to spend 160 but i could.

here are a few things that might help you help me.

I have a p/s with one 6 pin 430watt antec . I will be getting a athlon x 4. I game at 1024 x 768 on a 19 inch lcd.

I was looking for something that saved some power yet it's not of utmost importance over performance.

My final destination will be BF3 and MW3 at the end of the year.

Thanks!
 
Why do you game at such a low resolution? At least use the native resolution of the panel, which I assume is 1280x1024.

A GTX 460 will more than double your current performance, and you should be able to pick one up for $100 or so. It will also be more than enough for pretty much all current games at that resolution with maximum settings.
 
Can you power a GTX 460 768mb version with just one 6-pin? I know the 6850 only has on 6-pin, also the GTX550, GTS 450, and the 5770.
