It's a good bang for the buck choice, especially if your budget is under $100. But do consider the 7900gs and x1950pro for about $40 more. It will give you considerable performance increase from the 7600gt.
 
I'm selling a 7600GT right now, its a good card for the price and makes you wonder why anyone would even consider the 7600GS, can play BF2 and BF2142 on all high. I agree the 7900GS and the x1950pro are good bang for your bucks for alittle more, but not a dramatic increase. One of the strengths for the 7600GT is no need for an extra power connector, but at the same time thats a weakness since you can't overclock it too dramaticly unlike say the 7900GS.
 
If you are not gonna change the power supply , stick with the 7600GT

firstly if you are gonna upgrade in the next year or something , you are gonna save money and still enjoy every game with high enought setting.
 
I went with the 7600GT I do hope the psu can handle it at 17 a on the 12 rail

That is because you can get a 7600GS [TOP] from Asus that is rated faster then a GT for less cash! I got one running 600core/1500memory for way less then it would have cost me for a GT model running similar speeds. I do also play BF2 all on high settings with FSAA and AF thank you very much!
