I don't see why it's a must (not saying that they're bad), but if it is...

for work that simple id reccomend just a baseline 6200. 6800gs is overkill.

And that is the number one reason I shouldn't post while not yet awake...sorry.

Yeah, the 6200 will do fine; and if you're short on cash in the way of a vid card, an FX5700 would probably do too...
