The 9500gt is better, but still you would not get satisfying performance with it.
Go for 9600 or 8800. 8600 is fine but still not that satisfying.
Gt120 is the = of 9500 GT
the 8600gts is a better choice in my opinion. just make sure your computer can handle it

Yes
No, it's not.
To play WoW Cataclysm it is recommended to have a NVIDIA GeForce FX or ATI Radeon 9500 video card or better. If you were to buy a $40 or more graphics card now you should be fine. That doesn't mean it will run with full graphics just that it will work decently.
