Since the recent announcement of the new AMD R9 (I don't really care about R7) gpus, I have been wondering weather or not to wait on getting it or just buying now. My fall break is next week so I really want to have my build ordered by then so I can assemble it during my free time. If I have to, I will wait for some other time, though. But preferably I want it done in about 3 weeks. My question is, Should I wait for the new AMD gpus to come out or should I go ahead and buy one now? Also, is there any information on when they are going for sale?
Build info:
CPU Intel i5-4670k $240
GPU Asus Gtx 760 $260
MOBO Asus z87-Pro $200
RAM Corsair Vengeance 8 GB $80
HHD Western Digital Blue 1 TB 7200 RPM $70
Cooler Cooler Maser Hyper 212 EVO $40
Case Corsair 400R $100
Optical Drive Asus Black 18X CD and DVD-ROM $20
Operating System Windows 8 (OEM) $110
I don't really need any crazy graphics card, just something where I can play games such as battlefield on high settings. The AMD R9 280X or 270X will be the one I go with, if I decide to wait. I don't really want to spend more than $260 on the graphics card, so probably the 270X.
Thank you for your help!
