I'm surprised you'd suggest a 6800 over a 6600GT for this system. Whichever card is chosen, the system will be the bottle neck. I say you might as well go with the 6600GT, which runs about $220 on newegg. Sure, the 6800 is a better card, but on this system that won't be noticable. And it's not like the 6600GT is in any way a substandard card. It'll run any new game (D3, HL2, etc) at the highest resolutions with the highest detail levels.
Just from a pure value standpoint, the 6600GT is the best card on the market right now.
