What would you do?

My guess is the 2.4, but i'm not sure. What would you guys do.

P.S.: If you hadn't guessed, the 2.4 will be overclocked. hopefully to over 3.2.

atleast get a 9800 pro...

He's not going to be playing any games. Im getting the 9600Xt cause the price is good, it ensures that he can play games if he wants to and it has TV out. Which is perfect cause this will also be hooked up to his home theater system.
