If you can buy a computer without the video card (many places don't allow you to), do it.
But ya, the GeForce 5 comes out in October I think. I believe the ATI R300 (codename probably) with come out alongside the DirectX9 release, in September. And yes, it will be the next generation for sure.
The GeForce4 Ti 4200 is a good card if you only want it for a few months. It'll get you good gaming until then. Unless you're looking to run Q3A at 130fps, I don't see any real need for the 4600.
The Radeon 8500 is a great card. But sorry, don't know about the 4 MX.
What are you playing on right now?
