1st off, you should upgrade your RAM to 1GB.
2nd, high power video cards need to be plugged into the power supply, so make sure your PSU can handle the extra load. All the cards you listed use that extra plugin. Check the sticker & make sure you have at least 350W & no less than 18A on the +12v rail.
3rd, the Radeon 9600XT 128MB is equal to/better than the 9800SE, doesn't need to be connected to the PSU, & it's cheaper
Where can you find a 9800 Pro AIW card for under $200?

"increas your budget and go with the 6600GT"
Once again, advice given without a caveat. The 6600GT is a great card, but you'll need a PSU that can handle the added load. If your PSU isn't up to it, either get a lesser card (like the 9600XT), or plan on investing in a new card AND a new PSU.
