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?

High res medium cost: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814121325
Low res and cost: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814125277

Anything higher will be bottlenecked. Even the 4890 will be unless that CPU is nicely OC'd.

Not one of those cards you listed is an NVIDIA card, did you even read the title?
