You could upgrade to something like a 6600GT for under $130 (or an X800 for a little more), but it's not a huge upgrade from a 9800Pro. I'd recommend saving your money and buying a better card later (like a 6800GS/GT, or an X800XL/XT or X850Pro/XT). And/or switching to PCIe so you have more of an upgrade path.
Of course, I'm not sure why you'd be sweating $130 if you owned even a few of the items listed in your sig.
