Basically what the title says; I need a new GPU I found an ASUS Asus HD 7970 Matrix Platinum for ~£260 should I get that or should I wait until the new R9 - Series comes out? (Which would be the better option; will there be much of a performance improvement?)

Also I probably won't be buying the top of the range GPU as I will be using my Student maintenance loan to fund it and would like to keep as much as I can for other things like Books etc. (My max would be ~£300 as I currently only have around £730 to last until January)

Regards, Laz.

The Matrix Platinum all the way. I ordered it myself and this card is a BEAST. You can overclock it higher then any of the cards I had before (GTX 260, 480, HD 7950, HD 6990). You can max out any game on this GPU with a decent CPU, in my case it is an FX-8350 and 8GB of ram.
