since the x850xt pe is the best AGP card you can get, i honestly would go for that. i have a 9800p and thats gonna be my next card before i ever go to s939

Well, for a gaming rig, you should go for the new GPU since that's the most important part of a gaming rig (you could also say the CPU is the most important part, but you know what I mean). If you insist on buying an ATI video card, get the X800XL -- it's at a great price point right now.

It is hard to give recommendations when we have no idea what you are looking for. Are you not happy with its gaming performance? Personally I would get the X800XL though.

I just got some spare cash I want to invest in my rig,I'm a usuall gamer not a hardcore gamer like before, also I was thinking of getting a shuttle because I heard there great for noise reduction

If I where u I would go for the card. Noise doesn't bother me too so I woulodn't have gotten a shuttle.
But, if u like the 9800's performance and are bothered by the noise, then get the shuttle...
