So do you have the Pentium 4 or the Core 2 Duo? The Core 2 Duo is still fine for most games but the P4 wouldn't be.

The 9500GT definitely needs an upgrade if you want a smoother gaming experience. Depending on your budget, I'd grab either the HD 6670 or HD 7750. There are other cards that give more performance but the power consumption is quite low on these cards so you won't need to upgrade your PSU.
