Should I get this Graphics card?

My friend is currently out of state doing a summer job and plans to come back soon and wants to get his old computer running again... It's biggest problem for running games is it's graphics card and I'm wondering if this is a good buy and if it will do the job. He will mostly be playing games like World of Warcraft, Counterstrike Source and TF2. I've had great feedback from Gamespot users in the past and have appreciated it and I hope you guys can help me again today :) thanks.

I'd go with a 9800GT minimum but that's just me. What kind of budget are you on?

Well it's for him, but I would buy this for him and have him pay me back since it's a good deal. I'm sure he's willing to spend around $100 ish Maybe a little bit more.

The 9500GT isn't really that great of a video card. For those games, I would get at the very least a 4670 or 9600GT.

Hey thanks!1 and that card is only 60 after a mail in rebate :)

No problem man!

I actually just got a 9800gt. Its a great budget card. I love being able to max out Source games @ really high FPS. Its just so different from what I'm used to.
