Ok so what sort of budget do you have ? Also what monitor size/resolution do you use ?
Personally i would be looking at a 5770 or a 5750 for a system like that, they are both the latest tech with DX11. the 5750 for anything up to 1440 x 900 and the 5770 if you are looking at resolutions above that. Once you go past 1680 x 1050 Its time to look at something larger like a 5850 but i dont think your PSU would be up to that step.
Both cards will handle a step up in resolution depending on game and settings, the guidelines i have suggested are very rough and give a good margin for extra performance.

the 9600gt is out of the question....u may want to choose between the 285(280 r out of production i think) or 4850....The 285 will be a good option for now.....one of the more sweet deals is the 5850 if u can get one----its future proof (dx 11).....a word of advice....before getting the card u may want upgrade ur ram and PSU....ram is secondary but the PSU is underpowered considering ur choice of card....if u want to keep the PSU then the a 9800gtx will be the one....

The PSU looks like a weak link here, can you give us the make, model and outputs?
Ignore the GTX280 unless it is really cheap or you need an extra room heater.

GTX285 is overpriced at almost $300. It is not even comparable to the 4850 since it is about 3 tiers above the 4850.

Get the 4870 or GTX260, both are around $150, or the 5770 for about $160

I would go with Mactronix's suggestion, HD5770 as a target, and HD5850 as the fall-back if you decie to spend the money on bigger PSU.

The other options are just too limiting for a new build.
