For 200 you're not gonna get a card that can run the newer games
such as Crysis, Crysis2, Unreal Tournament 3 and Renegade-X on
high settings with acceptable FSAA enabled and a decent framerate of 60 fps steady.

And why do you want that? FSAA is nice, but takes quite a hit in performance. It doesn't add much either, just makes lines look a tiny bit smoother, which is IMHO barely a problem at 1920*1200 or 1680*1024.

Of course, if you want everything on superduperultradeluxehighultimummaximus, then you do need a high-end and relatively expensive card. However, for most this shouldn't be too interesting, as the last bit of performance is too expensive.
