There is no best video card.
The best advice is to spend a lot of money for a top line card. You may not see all of the benefit of the card as your system is a slow one.

While the 9800 Pro is a good card, you still have not told us enough to determine if you would be able to utilize all its features with your motherboard. You may get about as good of performance from a TI4600 or a FX5700, as a 9800Pro, we just don't know the answer here, which is why Derek gave his advice.
