or just to goo ahead and get a new case, psu, and gpu

Depends which 9600. There's one without a 6pin power connector, and one that requires one.

yea but its still gonna take more power than the 4350
the 9600 uses about 65 watts at peak.......
the 4350 uses 20..... so yea

this one should work with your psu to
Newegg.com - ASUS EAH4650/DI/1GD2/A(LP) Radeon HD 4650 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Low Profile Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
and it should be faster than both the others

get a new psu as well - please, I hear people talking so much about upgrading their graphics etc, but when their pc's are turning off randomly they come back to a forum and ask us why, its the power.
Electrolytic capacitors in your psu cant take the heat at peak load for much longer than a year, they will burst, (not if) but when this happens, the current from your outlet runs directly into your pc and destroys all your internal components. there would be a few out there that have experienced this, and blamed it on a power surge. spending an extra $60 USD on a psu upgrade (650watts) can breathe new life for a computer's upgrade potential esp when they (dell - in this instance) give you a 350watt psu and more reliability
