C2D will last 2-3yrs after overclocking for non gaming purposes and 1-2yrs for gaming purposes.

Whatever card you buy now in 20k is to play the current games and just about able to survive another yr. After that even if there is directx 9 support left, your card won't do that well, and probably many games after 1.5yrs+ will be sole directx 10 or start that phrase.

get c2d, get 7900GT, sell it for a dx10 card later. most probably no direct 10 card will give you high performance for 2yrs, but the 30k+ cards will last a good one yr if you are lucky and will surely be able to manage(not exactly high performance) maybe 1.5yrs.
