If your Mobo is PCIE x16
I'd say something like a 8600 GT.

Fits your budget and should play FEAR and HL2 on medium-high graphics.My 7600 GT plays them both those games fine even.
If its AGP you might have to go for a 7600 GT because I dont think they make AGP 8600's

If you don't want DX10 then get 7900GS, it outperforms both HD2600XT and 8600GT

Yes it beats it
Actually even 8600GT beats it in many cases specially when running AA and AF
Here are the reviews for HD2600XT

I think 8800GTS is about 40-60% faster, depending in what game you play.
