Been thinking of this also. My computer was very high end when forged at mount Doom in late 2006. Later upgraded with a medium range graphics card made of cryptonite in 2008. It will not be able to deal with the demands SoW will put on it.
It is possible that DX11 cards will be outright faster due to various optimizations. Also possible that tesselation might make a big difference in visual quality inside the cockpit (I doubt that though). More likely there will be only small differences between DX10 and 11. In this respect, the best card should be that which runs it the fastest yet costs the least.
To figure out what card it should be I will probably wait until some months after release of SoW to collect more information about how things perform (and letting prices drop further).
