ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Ive had this graphics card for a while, and it still runs great with no lag what so ever, but its starting to make more noise then usual and I think its time i retire it. That's the oldest thing i got on my case right now, so its time. No need for cool lights or fancy looks, just need something as fast as i can get with the cash i got. Thanks for your time.

If you aren't looking to span a game over 2 screens I would say something like a 650Ti would fit the bill.

you'd be surprised how much better the 650ti is compared to the 550ti.
also i'd like to point out that pretty much any new generation card out there above the $100 mark is a lot better than your 9600gt so you may want to weigh in your choices very carefully base on your needs. but the real heavy-hitters under the $200 mark is pretty much either the 650ti for nvidia or 7850 1gb for amd
