x800 is a good card
6800 is a better card
6800 and x800 have very similar performances
6800 has newer technology and architecture.
Both cards perform really well in all current games. If you wanna run far cry at 1600/1200 8xFSAA and 8x Anso you might still be chuging along, but for the normal user who doesn't care if he's getting 190fps or 180fps in his game both cards are good, but since they're both the same price and most everybody has extra pci slots these days due to motherboard integration of
RAID
LAN
SOUND
multi-USB
I'm sure you have enough slots for the 6800 to take up one.
Then again i'm thinking that 350watt psu on a system that doesn't have a lot of components would be sufficient, but if you're running 10000 rpm hard drives and a o/ced cpu you might want to go 400+
