Help Choosing Video Card Upgrade

I want an nVIDIA under $200 or around $200. I am looking at either
two 6600's (SLI) or one 7600GT. Should i go for the new 7 series?

common sense to know that the 7600 gt has faster core and memory speed than the 6600 gt.

even sli(ing) 6600 gt won't get to you the same performance as of 1 7600 gt. i say go for the 7600 gt. hence if you sli you need a large amount of power from psu (which what you have is good enough for sli 6600 gt or sli 7600 gt)

since rumors saying that DX10 driver and DX10 video cards are coming out soon, i suggest you wait for a while and wait for the price to drop. unless you really want it that badly.
