Yeah, the PC you're talking about now is pretty decent. However, if you can wait and can afford it, a DirectX 10 card really is the way to go as not only is Vista designed for it, you'll be future proofed for a while as new games are obviously going to take advantage of it and look much better than DirectX 9 games.
But, it's not like you're going to be completely out of date if you don't (and you can always upgrade the GPU later to a DirectX 10 one), and I highly doubt a game will ship anytime in the next year or so that doesn't support DirectX 9.
