Actually that would probably depend if it's a pro or a non pro 9500. The 9500 pro is pretty nice, whereas the 9500 non-pro at defaults isn't that great, but I'd chose the 9500np. The reason being is that about 85-90% of 9500 np's can be 'softmodded' to a 9700 pro by drivers which enable the other 4 pipelines and the 256 bit memory architecture (only if the memory is in an L shape ).
