i am thinking of:
ati 8500LE
geforce ti4200
geforce ti4600
(i think Parhelia isnt good enough and ati9700 is expensive...enough! :) )
so which graphic card is better in perfomance/cost ?

depends on what you use it for.

The 8500LE or ti4200 performance wise but the ti4600 if you raelly want perf. but cant afford a 9700Pro

If you are into overclocking the Ti 4200 overclocks very well from what I have heard. So theoretically you could get performance close to a Ti 4600 without spending the extra money.

I crossed the line into insanity so long ago I no longer have any idea which way to go to get further from the line.

But he did mention the factor performance/cost.
Sure the ti4600 is the best of those, but is it too expensive ?
LE=Lite edition. I doubt any marketing-department would name a product "limited edition".

If you can afford the ti4600, go with that.

If you can scrape together enough money for the 9700Pro it would be great, but it depends on your overall system if it´s worth it.

CPU?
Memory?
AGP 4X?
