Tom, its actually 0 at best buy right now, and the 9500gt is .99. And i already know that the 4670 is better, but not by a LONGSHOT. Thanks for the links tho! 😀

You’re stretching it. You also have to consider the other parts on your motherboard. I’d upgrade your powersupply.

Um…… NO! you will definitely want to go for a bigger power supply. I have provided a link to a power supply calculator, it will tell you how big of a power supply you will need.
9500GT doesn’t take 350W, power consumption for whole system with a 9500GT is only around 200W.

But 9500GT sucks for it’s price, even 2 times faster HD 4670 is cheaper:
