    The 9600GT is going to be approx 60% as fast as a HD4850. So you decide what's best.

    That's about right - the 4850 is at least 60% faster than the 9600GT, so it's a significant cutback choosing the 9600. I also dislike EVGA, and prefer BFG and XFX's cards. Rest of the components are fine though.

    If you're not going to be gaming then just get a 8800GS.

    Indeed do, they rock. They're now sadly withdrawn from the UK market, so act quick, they may not be around on the US side much longer!
