The X1650pro is a horrible card, the 7600GS can outperform it and it cost less

The X1950pro is the best out of these three ^^

But if you can stretch your budget then get 7900GTO which can beat X1950pro by far

If the 7900GTO is expensive for you then get 7950GT, the 7950GT is still better than X1950pro

And you will computer will not bottle neck any of these cards

Here is a benchmark that compares 7600GS to X1650pro

The 7600GS is the clear winner

And here is a benchmarks that compares 7950GT to X1950pro

7950GT is the clear winner, and even 7900GT is better than X1950pro

X1950pro performs equally to 7900GS

Get the X1950. It won't bottleneck it - only will have less performance than a Core 2 or AMD 64.
