Pick up a new 450-500w quality PSU and a 8800 GT/9800/3870/4870 (they can be had for around 40 bucks) and your in business. A quick search of eBay will find numerous suitable cards that will smoke your 8600 and at very reasonable prices.

Here's a good PSU for under 50 bucks that will do nicely.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026

An ASUS 9600 GT would be more than enough. Overclocking your Prescott is not going to help much so wait till you have more cash. For what you play a new PSU and a 9800GT will do you well.
