That's what i have and i love it :D

Would have gotten a nVidia one instead but all i could afford was ATI :( - still it wasn't a bad purchase ;)

I don't really like nVidia cards, I prefer stuff from the ATi Radeon series...

How much is the 9800 Pro and what are the specs of it... I need something that can run the following games really well:

Battlefield 2
Doom 3
Far Cry
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Halo
Half Life 2
Counter-Strike: Sourcer
Warcraft III
Area-51

Doom 3
Far Cry
Halo
Half Life 2
CSS
Warcraft III
Area 51

Which of the x series would be the best for a 15 year old with not much money to get... Which runs games like a beast I mean... As in graphics all on extreme etc.
