Well I used to have a 6600 or something then I got a 8600gt a couple months ago but really didn't notice much of any difference graphics/fps wise. A friend told me the 8600gt is just a pos, he suggested the 8800gts 515mb. Is this a good card compared to my current 8600gt? Would I notice a big difference?

An 8800GTS 512mb card would be a huge improvement over the 8600. You are correct as well, there isn't much of a noticable difference (performance-wise) between the 8600 and a higher end 6600. This is why it's always good to do research on hardware before you buy it.

8600gt should be twice the card 6600gt is. Anyway 8800gts 512mb is much superior card than 8600gt. Performance should be tripled.

Your PSU should be fine, but Crysis at high res will not happen on an 8600. Get an 8800GT or something similar instead.
