There might be a need to upgrade your psu if if you're expecting to upgrade to a higher card. A 9800GT fits your budget but consumes more power than the 9500GT.

hmm.. honestly if mid/high na imo graphics card some psu may not be able to give enough power your entire system will need...
generally if using real-power psu, 400-500 watts would be good for single cards, mga 700watts for sli/xfire...
