He's asking for the best from what he has available, not the best available now.
As to your question. Go with the 8600GT and then unlock the cards BIOS and turn it into an 8800GT. You can find the files needed to do the "Softmod" on guru3d.com as well as instructions.
It would be much better if you could find a card with 512mb of ram vs. 256mb as the game will run and load much quicker. So, YES, more video ram is better.
I currently run 2gb of video ram for my system and the game runs beautifully.
