what video card do you have now???

Used 9500 Pro (can go to 9700 through softmod; otherwise is more or less a 9600XT) or 9700 Pro, but if it should be new I'd take that 9800 Pro as long as it's the full 256-bit one.

If possible, I would also recommend overclocking your processor to keep up with the video card and newer games.
