9800 Pro - No doubts there! See if you can't stretch to getting a 256MB version (You'll be able to crank up the AA/AF and texture settings a lot more with extra video memory)

The 9600 XT 256MB is also a nice little card. Just installed one in a mates PC and it runs Doom 3 & CS: Source, Flawlessly!

But if you want bang for the buck - 9800 Pro 128 is the way to go!

dont be too eager to get the 256mb version, it really dont make that much dif... if you are gonna spend more than the 128mb version, you may as well push for the 9800XT
