hi nikhil you have made an important point which is very true and i completely agree with u...

even older cards an still play most of the current games , though at lower settings , i am sure even geforce 6 series cards will last for many years if u r an average gamer...


and also u cant simply wait for better technology(DX10 cards), as said by nikhil , DX10 cards wont b cheaper when they arrive , by the time they will b affordable then again DX11 cards will appear and this circle will go on

what at most u can do is go for best affordable hardware u can buy
geforce 7 series are really good and will last for many years( even my AGP 8X 6800 GT is still going strong , and i have played every game at 1024 x 768 resolution , though not at max details)......dont wait for DX10 cards
