I picked up an X850XT and have never regretted my purchase.
Wait, no. I have but only because I got in in AGP and didn't bother to swap over the PCI-E when I had the money but that's unrelated. Anyhow, I'm thinking the X850XTPE would bottleneck on your system however.

I don't think it'd be so bad, try pushing the 2500 a bit more and you'd definately see an improvement.

Besides right now the 9600 XT is the bottleneck so its not gonna be too terrible
