New Dx10 Graphics Card for Age of Conan

As you may have heard, the highly-antisipated game, Age of Conan, is coming out October 30th to PC. The game renders with Direct X10 and I want the best picture for this game, without spending alot of money.

Since Directx10 is the new thing for games, I figure that this upgrade is worth it. I am working a full time job right now until July 31st and I want to use some of that money to buy AoC, A graphics card, and Unreal Tournament 3.

First off, I would like to ask, do you think it would be worth while to upgrade my graphics card? The game is very graphic-intense and I could use the extra boost. Right now, I have a BFG PCI-Ex16 7600gt 256mb, which is almost equivilent to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130062.

If anyone could give any feedback as to what is the best bang-for-the-buck graphics card around ~200 with directx10 compatibility that would be great.

Thank you very much!

*UPDATE*
Since my birthday is coming up, I am thinking about getting something a little more expensive and asking my parents to pay for half of it as a part of my birthday present.
I've also looked into Tom's Hardware Best Gaming Cards For The Price : July 2007 Edition and concluded that my best bet was the following:

My only problem with it is the size. Hehe

Personally, I'm waiting for DX10 support to become a bit more ubiquitious, the drivers to go through a few more revs, and the prices to drop a bit.

For cutting-edge graphics, I'd go with at least a 512 Meg card; I recently upgraded to an X1950 Pro and it runs anything currently available at maximum settings.

Company of Hero's will also run DX10 and its already out by the way.

I'd suggest taking a gander at the ATi x2k series. All of which are Dx10 too.
