Dammit, I wish I knew something about modern graphics cards

My PC is really becoming quite knackered now (I've had to underclock the damn thing to get it to POST) so rather than fart about with it I think I'll build a new one..
I've got most things covered, besides the graphics...


How good are the 7900 series cards? GT/GTS etc? Say, compared to my Radeon 9800pro

What about the 8800GTS? It's more expensive than the above, but is it much better? (about £110 as opposed to about £79) I want something that's gonna play some games but I don't want something ridiculous. Older games and new ones at 1280x1024 would be nice, would an 8800GTS suffice in this respect?


Cheers
