It all depends what you want to use it for. If you want to use your PC as a multimedia centre, then yes. It's good for DVDs and you can even watch TV or use your computer as a PVR. If your just playing games or even watching DVDs, all you'll need is a card with TV-out.
The All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro will run you back about $350. The regualar 9800 Pro is $250US. The Geforce 5900 is selling for about $200 while the 5950 sells for about the same as the 9800 Pro. If your willing to spend a little more, the X800 Pro and 6800GT are selling for about $430US. These last two are both exellent card. The 6800 Ultra is the best on the market but it's quite expensive.
