If you can find a 9600GSO for $50 or less,it'd be a decent card.
4830 for $75 shipped after taxes would be a good deal.

You'll always do better with an X-Fi or equivalent. The question is whether or not you can afford it.
Refurb from Creative
I hear ebay has them for $38 shipped

Ok this Rig: https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/M...px?ID=12930528

Major room for upgrades in the future. And you will be able to OC on it really well. 550$ That's just the way it goes my friend

You could put a 4830 in there for 10$ more. Which would be a good improvement over the 9600gt
