    If you can afford it then the 8600 is the only choice. Try and get the GDDR3 video memory version of the card if you can as the performance for that variant compared to the DDR2 version is noticeable.

    OP will have to provide more info on exactly what games will be played as well as the rest of the notebook specs.
