    You have an AM2 X2 6000+, right? Well, it's gonna be a bottleneck for most newer games and more powerful card would be needed (reason why I stress 'more powerful' is becuz you'd wanna run games at the native res of the monitor which is 1080P). Honestly speaking, I'd rather live with a CPU bottleneck (as long as the CPU's good enough to keep FR playable) rather than a GPU bottleneck.....that's what I'm living with right now. My cards are being bottlenecked by my CPU, but since my CPU's fast enough to keep FR at more than playable, I ain't too concerned. The GTX260, while being a pretty good card, may struggle with games @1080P, so might I suggest the HD5850? It's about as powerful as a GTX285 but with DX11 support...
