If you're planning on playing at that high of a resolution I would go for the 8800 GT. The 9600 GT would probably be alright but since the 8800 GT is so cheap I would be safe with it instead.

The 9600 GT is roughly 15% lesser than the 8800 GT. If you don't use AA in games the 9600 GT loses a lot of its performance to price ratio (the HD 3870 is better if you don't use AA).

I haven't heard anything about the 9800 besides sometime in April and probably under $400. I would guess somewhere around 15% better than the 8800 GT.

So basically it's up to what you want to spend. If you're wondering whether it's worth it to go to the 8800 GT, the answer is yes, especially because of your high resolution.
