Stay away from 9600's
Go for the 9800GTX if you have the cash. Otherwise the 8800 Ultra

I'm with the idea of an EVGA and waiting for the new cards to arrive. Nvidia might just give us DX10.1 and SM4.1.
They should be arriving end of the month.

Soon Google will know everything...including how to divide by zero
8800GTS 512MB cards are selling as low as R3K now (less than some 8800GT cards) so yeah I'd agree with Mike and go for one of those as there isn't much difference between the 8800GTS and 9800GTX (unless you're an avid overclocker and play your games on a 30" monitor).
The new cards are being released tomorrow but will be rather pricey.
I'd hold out for a few weeks before buying as pricing of the 8800 series is bound to start dropping with the release of ATI's 4850 card.
