You dont have to get a 5870 or a 6870, why not try a 4870? I think you can get by on one of those, I used to have one and you should be ok for 200 ish battle size.
You can get a 4870 1gig really cheep.
I use this PSU btw

Here, will this video card work for you?
its seems pretty soild, its a 1Gig card and I am sure you can get 100 maybe 200+ with this on low detail.

Just make sure you have the correct slot for the video card.
I don't think that video card is really much of a step up from the 8800 GTS that I have now. I'm looking at the other cards, because they look like they'd be a significant improvement.
I think (feel free to do your own comparison) that it will provide a larger gain than what you think.
Lets take a look.
HD 5750
PCI Express 2.0 x16 Vs PCI Express x16
The 5750 has a faster core clock 700 Vs 500.
Almost twice the amout of ram, 1gig of DDR5 Vs 512 of DDR3
Here is a comparison for you.

Not only should the 5750 be faster (take fallout 3 on very high settings) then the 8800 GTS by about 30% its also less power hungry than the card you have now.
Nvidia is very bad for power hungry cards.
Its not a complete blow out, but I think you would see a good deal of improvement with the 5750, why not look at a 5770 as well?
Here,

Now the 5770 is still less power hungry than the current card you have while providing a across the board preformance gain.

Take a look at the 5770 then, I think it could be the best bet for you, and its only $134.XX.
