1. What are the games you wish to play?
2. What is the maximum extend of your budget?
For just video playback a 9400 or 9500 is usually enough.
For moderate gaming, or resolution of 1280x1024 or lower, 9600GT is a minimum.
The ideal gaming card would be GTS260, though it may stretch your budget.
If you are not gaming, stick with the IGP.
If you are gaming, what is your budget, screen resolution and PSU?
