I'm looking to upgrade my 9800 Pro, and these two cards look like the front-runners:

Gigabyte x800xl - $252

XFX 6800gt - $289
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814150102


Is one of these cards my best bet, or are there other options? The x800xl is closer to my budget, but the 6800gt seems to be a better card--is the extra money worth it? I'm just looking for best overall game performance.

Also, would there be any compatibility issues with my Asus A7N8X Deluxe and AMD XP "Barton" 3000+? Would this CPU keep up with one of these fast GPUs?

Thanks!
