According to most game reviewers and hard ware testers, the top of the line ATI and Nvidia cards are vastly superior in quality and performance over their half priced brethin.
Those reviews are full of baloney. Artificial benchmarks are fairly useless. All that the current generation top of the line lets you do is run at best settings. Last generation's top of the line is generally going to be 90%+ of best settings, which is still practically the same. Go back two generations and you might lose the latest useless buzzword feature (like HDR), but the game will still look great and play extremely well.

One thing im missing is a proper soundcard. I think i will get an Audigy ZS 2 soon.
That's not a proper sound card, however. Sure, it can spit out a lot of mediocre quality sound, but it is pricey. Better to go with a card like a M-Audio Revolution.
