In a little bit of a dilema...I'm building my first PC, (high-end gaming) and wanted it to be finished this summer. When I heard the new 700 series was coming out....

- I budgeted around £400 for a new GTX 780...now that it's turned out to be £550, If I got it I wouldn't be able to finish the build until October.
- I then looked at what my options were with £400 and I came up with the Asus Matrix 7970 Platinum Edition for £420 (which is faster than even the msi 680 lightning)
- I also looked at the rumors for the next-gen AMD cards, and most are saying Q4 2013 at the earliest, which sucks....

SO...What do you guys think I should do?

I forgot about that card! although it's basically a 680, so isn't going to be the fastest option...it could be the best value though, as long as it doesn't stray too far from the old 670 prices.
