I have a rig i built on black friday. for about 385$ without a gpu because i had a HD 7770 laying around. Anyway i sold my old one for 470. My question is if i sold it for around 500$ i could sell my xbox with it for an extra 100$ and have 600. Thatd be enough for the same computer parts i have now, But i would have a much better gpu (GTX 570 or GTX 580 Microcenter has some for 130 and 180 respectively) Would it be better to do that and build it all over again which i dont mind since i love it anyway, Or should i just wait and save money and get something else down the line, I mean the 7770 plays all my games well, Skyrim, Fallout, Source engine games on steam. All fine at 1080p ultra with 8x AA and such with 40-50+ Fps. But id really love to have the extra umph to prepare me for the games im soon gonna be playing BF4, GTA V... so.. simply put, Wait? or Sell?
