Switch: was in your shoes till a few months back. Don't buy till HL2 or Doom 3 rear their pretty faces, I said to myself, then went ahead and bought a 9800 PRO anyways. The thing is, there will ALWAYS be something better from both nVidia and ATi and the latest will NEVER be within my budget...
I would seriously rethink a FX series card as an investment. It may run the current games fine and will undoubtebly perform to satisfaction when either Doom 3 or HL2 show up but i would suggest you look a little further down the years. A next-gen NVIDIA card or a current generation 9700/9800 ATI series is what I would recommend.
And on topic, these prices are waaaay too high, the 9700 XT, for example retails for around 15k if I remember correctly.
