Just go in to any computer store, most (if not all) the new graphics cards support directX 9... if you want it for TSE, then also look at getting a card that supports pixel shaders (I think the highest is 3.0)

I have a ati 9600 se, which, abit a little slow, supports DX 9. You could prolly pick one up dirt cheap. If you dont care too much about preformance, then it would be worth it.
