I'd go the 9500 pro, just to wait and see what comes out soon. I'm on the same boat as you, I need to upgrade also, but still want to wait and see what AMD is going to do next.

I'm sure someone else will have some opinions too. :D Good lukc with teh upgrades.

The 9500 Pro can be soft modded to a 9700 Pro with a little bit of work.. Not as fast at the Actual 9700 Pro, but I'm sure it outperforms the TI4800.. Just my thoughts.. eGo
