As far as Linux goes, no. Go with an Nvidia card (6600).

If you're talking about playing on Windows, maybe, or wait until the 850's come down a little.

Um...seeing that you have a 9600, I can be safe in assuming you have an AGP motherboard, correct? If so...you're pretty much in a dead end. You should upgrade your motherboard as well, and get a PCI-Express graphics card. AGP really limits your options, and the good cards are more expensive than their PCI-E brethren.
