If you game and do video editing I would definately upgrade. I'd consider looking for a used card to get a better performance increase and stay in budget. You might think that the card you have performs fine but trust me the difference is incredible and totally worth it. I thought my 8600 was fine for gaming....until I got my 8800gt and saw the difference. Upgrade that thing man, you're games will thank you.

Don't know his budget. Put aside twenty to thirty dollars every time you get paid and it'll add up.

Dude 9600 is best, choose whichever is cheaper/looks cooler of them. If you are going to "upgrade" don't stress over it and just pick one. Otherwise save up for something decent.
