9600gt vs 4830 worth it yes or no?

[ohiou_grad_06]

Hey guys, a quick question. As we all know Christmas has come and gone, and with that comes Christmas cash. I am wanting a good card, but wanting to be somewhat frugal with my money as well.

My rig right now has an Athlon x2 5200+ with the Windsor core

2 gb of ddr 667
320gb seagate hd
gigabyte 570 sli mainboard(not a big deal as I'll probably not use the sli feature)
dvd burner
2 case fans


I'm looking at 2 cards and I'm debating. I think I want to go with the 9600gt.

The 2 cards are this overclocked 9600gt for 85 bucks and free shipping.

Or this Sapphire 4830 for 109.00 with free shipping

2 things to keep in mind, power should be no issue as I have a new 650 watt Ultra LSP Lifetime Series PSU sitting here waiting for installation. Amps on the 12V+ rail are rated for 38 amps, so I should be able to run any single card with ease.

For a monitor, I now have a Hanns G HG216D 22 inch widescreen, with a resolution of 1680x1050.

So either way I'm set for everything else. All these things considered, what do you guys think?

Also, this is the case I have. Just to double check fitments and all of that.

Although that does have a PSU with it, keep in mind, I do have the new PSU listed above, so that's no issue. Thanks for all the feedback guys!


*EDIT*

Also keep in mind I am currently running on an old Nvidia 7300 LE card with 64 mb of ram, so either card is going to be a MASSIVE step up for me.
