im lookin for a card around the same price range.

Answer 1

Get the XFX 8800GS it is cheaper than the 8600GT in australia. I whould get the 8600GT out of the 2 you picked

Answer 2

The 9500 is a newer model but in terms of performance they are very close if you are willing to spend an extra £30 you can get a 9600GT i got one for my PC its a very good card it runs games like crysis on near full settings without AA at playable frames

But if i were to chose i would pick the 8600 my brother has one on his PC and i have the laptop version on m laptop, it runs demanding games and software fairly well
