Upgrading old build due to tight budget

[dd21]

Hello Fellow forum members i have a quick question to ask you!

What do you think that a 9800 GT for $36 is worth my investment?
I have a strict budget of around $125 for upgrades

System Specs ATM:

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800 (already purchased an AMD Phenom x3 8550)
Motherboard: Pegatron Narra5 (used from old slimline PC)
Graphics: Radeon HD 4350
RAM: 4GB (2x4GB) Kingston DDR2 400mhz valuram
Power: 300w generic
HDD: 320GB
OS: Win 7 Home Premium

i just need to get a few parts to hold me over until next march!

so would the 9800 GT be worth it?
here is the card: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-nVidia-GeForce-Akimbo-Graphic/dp/B004MKJWJO/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1349145452&sr=1-4&keywords=9800

or would this 8800GTS work? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081HMBRE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A1C1Y470GHVFPC

this for your card and the 8800gts http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=585&card2=475 then your with the 9800gt http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=585&card2=575 check the power draw you have to check if your motherboard could handle them ( do you want a good advice if it was me i would keep that system with the new cpu since you bought it, but start to pile some budget to get a complete new system up to date )

A 9800GT isnt a bad card at al, but its not going to run on your power supply. You are either going to have to pick a different card or get a new power supply.

To get about the same performance as that for cheap, you can probably find a Nvidia GeForce GT240 GDDR5 card.

You're going to be able to find cheaper cards on ebay though.
