the 9600 isn't a very fast card though. with for instance a used 9800xt you'd be able to play at far greater resolutions with aa/af enabled, and your overall framerate would be drastically better. since the rest of your pc isn't top-end you probably won't noticed that huge a difference between a 9800xt and for instance the x800 pro because your cpu etc will be a bottleneck
