Ok - you do have a PCIe board, but I'd highly suggest getting a new motherboard - probably a p35 based board, i'm sure you can find one here on the for sale forum thread. Are you planning on getting new ram? The DDR2 you have is running at DDR2 533. That will really hurt your overclocking posibilities. Look to see if you can pick up some cheap DDR2 800 or 1066.

One thing, You wont be able to use the 9800GTX+ because it uses PCI-E expansion slots and your motherboard only has an AGP expansion slot. You would need a motherboard with PCI-E slots.

Appreciate all the input. So I should get rid of the 9800 GTX?

No, its fine. Some people mistakenly assumed your motherboard had AGP and not PCI-E, so the card will work.
The problem is that while you WILL get a big speed boost from your 8500, you will not get all the cards performance due to your CPU holding it back.
IMO, as long as your power supply is good enough use the 9800GT for now - and work on getting a new motherboard/CPU/ram combo in the near future, and move the 9800GT to that.

400 for all that? Suspicious, they are basically selling it for the cost of CPU, memory, and mobo. Though, those are really the only things worth much in there.
You can't SLI two cards with different GPU chip, and that is not a SLI mobo anyway, it's a Crossfire mobo. Unless you feel like using the hacks that make SLI work on P45 chipsets.
Either way, if I were you I would jump on that, just ditch the 9600 for the 9800. You can then sell the 9600, probably on the for sale section on these forums.
