Play the games you want to before you run out and buy anything. Maybe it'll perform to your expectations. Maybe not.
I have an older Dell XPS with a nvidia 7600GT that is dying. The -600GT cards are great for the money, and will run you about $150-$180 for the current generation. I play more or less the same games you do, and the 7600GT was fine for everything except SH4. It was playable but chugged at times. I'll be replacing it with an 8600GT for under $100, and maybe throw in another gig of RAM to keep me trucking until I can afford a new box.
PD
