IMHO if you're on a budget you should look at video cards like ATIs HD4830. If you can spring some extra cash get something along the lines of a 4870 or Nvdias GTX 260.

7300 and 9500 aren't very good.

Get either a 9600gt, 8800gt, 9800gt or 4850

HD4670 would be better, and not much more expensive.

get a better GPU and you are good to go, look at the recent GS 200 dollar GPU article to decide.
