If you can stand to wait I would say that would be the best bet. The radeon 9200 isn't a horible card and can play most current games like HL2, albeit at low settings.
However I recently spent 200 dollars upgrading from a fx5200 to a 6600gt, and I am very satisfied with my purchase.
I saw an ad for a x700 256mb agp card at best buy for $160 whitch is very comparable on benchmarks to the 6600gt agp and will get you beter DX performance ( for games like HL2) whitch would be a great solution for your problem.

A Big NO.
Never buy the X700 series, it's not a really good card, much to expensive for the delivered performance.
Really, 1st option is buying a 6600 GT or 6800 non GT or ultra.
(ca. 140-180€)
other option: Wait a couple of month for the new gen. and then get the old ultra or GT model for much less money.
Also a good buy is the x800.
