    the 9600XT is a descent low/mid-range card ... you should be able to play HL2 and Doom fine ... don't know how many FPS .. i dont know about your old card because you failed to mention which ATI card it is ... you might spend a bit more on the RAM and other stuff and use your old card untill you save up for a better one, instead of buying the 9600XT now ... i would also suggest buying a PSU as the one that comes with that case is crap (Antec TruePower and PC Power & Cooling are good search the board for other suggestions)

    also there is a plethora of info about hardware at www.tomshardware.com if you care to do some reading ... that will give you more info than I could
