Is the 9800 gtx the right card for my pc?

Helo
I have a Asus M2N32-Sli deluxe wireless edition.
AMd 5600 64 X2
2 gig Mushkin Ram 800Mhz
eVga 8600GTS 512mb

Would the 9800 gtx be to powerful for my computer?
Will the motherboard be fast enough for it.

And also, what do you thinkof the Xfx brand ? I'm not really fond of evga and I was told xfx made really good ones.
Here's what I'm looking at. Aren't the prices surprisingly low? (I'm considering the black edition one (third))

Why is the 8800GTx so expensive? it's got more ram but speeds don't match.

I usually play at a 1024x1280 resolution.

9800GTX would be good. Better have 9800GTX+ than 9800GTX.
Price tag changes for different manufacturers.... Some manufacturers put good cooling systems... so that card would be more healthy & stable.. and some may do OverClocking.... It depends on what you want....

I suggest you buy one which have silent good cooling system...
