at what resolution?

what budget will you have?

tbh, you would be best to see what the midrange dx10 cards have to offer and as such i can't really advise.

Well good luck trying to play fear on maz settings with that budget. But then again at 800*600 you might just be able to. I have a 1950pro and i can play oblivion with everything max including resolution but in fear I have to disable soft shadows and some other settings for it to run at max res.

I have to say that, the resolution you intend to play at is not going to look all too pretty with max settings, say compared to a system with low settings but a higher resolution. Perhaps a mix inbetween would be better? Higher reslution but lower settings?
