Well, you'd probably be best off not even considering the 6600LE, if the 6600GT is available at the same price.
/Edit. You should provide a list of the most demanding graphical applications and games you want to run. If it isn't too taxing on your graphics card, then maybe you could be happy with a cheaper but less powerful card. Unless you are happy to spend your top budget limit, that is.

I would definitely go with the 6600GT.
It is the best bang for the buck out of the 3 and also the fastest out of the 3 so it is a clear winner IMO.
You have a good PC, and if you choose to go with a 9600XT it will be a bottleneck in games since a 3 generation old mid-range graphics card will simply not cut it for gaming these days. 6600GT is still the best buy for most people, especially those on a low budget.
