You're right the 8800GT is not a DX10.1 Card but I wouldn't consider going with an Nvidia it to be any sort of down grade. In terms of future support Microsoft stated "Microsoft reiterates that DirectX 10.1 fully supports DirectX 10 hardware and that DX10.1 extends the hardware functionality slightly" The update is only considered to be slight.

The G80 is not pcie 2.0 compliant and not that is does anything for performace.

If you're holding out for futures then good luck. Meanwhile I wouldn't worry too much about your video card futures you might want to get a better CPU.
