To save money, get a case with free shipping. Shipping costs on those things are usually pretty high.

Also, a 9500gt is only worth about $45. At $60, you can get much better performance.

right i understand with the gfx card thing but after rebate its 50 5 more then what itll cost. but is there a huge difference in quality i will notice playing world of warcraft if i did get this card u suggest? and is it worth returning my gfx card and paying the 15% restock fee.

With MMOs you can get decent fps on almost any card out now (they're low poly and use small materials for texturing). If you plan to game with DX10, get the best you can afford (look at the testing charts, and fit one to your budget). HD4870 now is going so cheap it's a literal steal to grab one.

Once all your rebate money comes in, you could always Step-Up with eVGA and get a new card.

yea i wish i had the budget to pick one up but i dont so is it really worth swapping the 9500gt for the 9600gt

true connor i could just hold off on the gfx card now wait for all the rebate money...and then get a gfx card but who knows how long those rebates will take

The 9500GT is NOT a gaming card. Even for something as mild as WoW, you won't be able to turn on shadows or multi-sampling.
If you just ordered it, try canceling. If that doesn't work you can do the dishonest thing and get a refund for a "defective" product.
