If the budget by that time is also sub 8k then u could buy only the 8 series entry level card. maybe somethin like 8200 or 8300[if nvidia follows usual naming prctice] which could just manage to play those games at some 800*600 or 1024*768 @med or low quality. But then theres again a good point that GF7 cards bould be much cheaper that days like some 7900GS for sub 10k maybe.
The GF8 cards may ship with DDR4 mems with over 2Ghz mem, so DDR3 will be cheaper.
