Yes it's fine - You can run Halo on max settings with a 9600XT. And don't tell me you can't because that's exactly what I've done on friend's computers. My 9800XT runs every game I have on full settings, 4X AA and AF, inc. HL2, FarCry, Warhammer 40K etc.
I'm not saying it's a bad choice I'm just saying it's wrong to tell people you NEED that card. Most people can't afford it, and they'd be very disappointed to think their 9600 was a terrible card. It's not, it's a great card, be proud of it. A 9800pro is slightly better though if you want a budget card, that or a 6800GT, 'cept they're nVidia therefore suck with DirectX games.
