Yeah, it's not an exact science. The margin of error here is one level higher or lower than what's listed depending on the game.

Is it a good value for $130?

My list is based off one of the most GPU demanding situations in all of dolphin so I highly doubt there will be any games that require a level higher than what I listed. The list was meant to be as conservative as possible. One level lower will definitely happen for a lot of games though.

Probably.
Would I be able to use 1.5x native + 9x SSAA?
(Or maybe even 2x + 9x SSAA?)
Dude.....you have a GTS 450, why would you spend $130 on such a small upgrade? Don't you think you should wait at least until the next series of cards comes out?

What would you suggest then?
Besides keeping my card, of course.

Besides [insert exactly what I would suggest here], of course
Fine.
Should I get a new monitor instead?
Or a SSD?
Out of curiosity where did you suddenly come up with this money? The last time we talked you were extremely stretched for cash.

I like planning way ahead.
Don't actually have any money yet.
Should probably get on that.Confused
