Dont even think about getting it for that price.Look for 8800GT in that price range and it would play all games pretty damn well.

Is this USD or Canadian? If it's USD, I think you can get an 8800GT for $150 on newegg, not only is about the same price, you'll get a substantial increase in power over the 8600.

The 8600GTS used to be a low-midrange gaming card, but now is a bit outdated. It might have some value to someone trying to reduce power consumption (such as someone with a cheap/low-output power supply), but even then there are better options. For the same price or lower, you could get a 9600GT, HD3870, or 8800GT, which are superior to the 8600 in every way - in fact, the 9600GT and 3870 even use the same amount of power as the GTS. There's really no good reason for someone interested in gaming to go with an 8600GTS anymore.
