Is a Radeon 9600 series graphic card still good for the newest PC games?
I built my PC a while back and I am not sure if it can keep up with the newest games. Can I live with it? or should I invest in another card?

The Radeon 9600 is an old, old, old AGP card from 7 years ago. It is horribly obsolete by today’s standards.
If you want to play today’s games with decent amounts of detail and speed, you might want to consider investing a new PCIExpress system.
If you want to stick with AGP, then the most powerful AGP card you can upgrade to is the ATI HD3850 AGP. It will be hobbled by the bandwidth limits of AGP though, but still a HECK of a huge upgrade from that Radeon 9600 fossil.
