true, the 9600 will suffice for now, but in the future (and I do mean short future) it will start to lag behind. Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 will be the first to push the boundaries. I'd say you'll need a better card than a 9600 to run Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 at their maximum settings....
If you are gonna buy a card now, a mid-range card is NOT the way to go. A high end card is the best bang for your buck right now, specifically the Sapphire 9800 Pro at newegg.
