Hmm...
Well I think that if all you can afford right now is a video card I wouldnt get a 9800 pro (unless you plan on upgrading the cpu in the future.)
The reason being is that I think your cpu will hold you back from using the 9800 pro to its full potential. So maybe a 9700 xt? Something one step below 9800 pro. But then again if you are going to upgrade the rest of your system sometime in the near future then by all means go with the 9800 pro. I don't own this card but I've never heard a bad thing about it. Good luck on your upgrade!
