I would say the 9800pro then flash it to an XT or the FX5900XT. I have heard good things about both of them.

they are really close, but the 9800 pulls ahead a bit with AA/AF

The 9800 is considerably faster in DX9 games, and has a much better chance of running with your 300W power supply that you wre asking about in the other thread.

Why don't you get it from an online store?
a 9800pro on newegg is just $205.
