So I am in the market for a 780 ti but I won't be done with my build until 2015 or even later. ( I'm too young to have a job) so I want to know of by the end of the year of their will be a significant price drop when the 800 series is released. And it should drop anyways since I am going to wait awhile to buy it. Or will the 780 ti be outdated compared to the 800 series and I should go for an 800 card instead? I know it's hard to tell at this point but I need to retain as much information as I can and try and "predict" the future since technology is always changing.
Graphics card price drops?

The 780 ti is arguably the best GPU out there right now. That being said, once the 800 series comes out, it isn't going to be outdated at all. Heck, there are some 600 series that still make the top 10. That being said the choice of whether or not you get the 800 or stick with the 700 is up to you. There will be price drops for the 700, how much though I'm not sure. They'll probably start the 800s off more than the 700s, then slowly lower both until the 800 is where the 700 is.
So the choice is up to you, do you want to have the most high end up to date, and pay more or get the 780, which isn't going to have much of a difference from the 800, and save a few bucks?

end of this year you have intel dropping there newer haswell-e cpu. then around april of next year you may see a newer intel cpu and mb that uses ddr-4 ram for that replace the 1150 mb and cpu. if nvidia and amd leak slids are right then both will have newer gpu in 2015 that replace there gpu that will drop in 2014. one thing with pc parts to be care full is that most times when new parts drop there a price premium to pay on these parts. look at the amd 290 gpu and how bit minners have forced the gpu prices up. if you look at ib cpu and haswell cpu the newer cpu are only slightly faster then the older cpu but run a lot hotter. the newer maxwell gpu nvidia has switched from raw gpu power and power hungry cards to having there gpu do more per watt. will have to see how there 20mm cards do in the 760-780 replacement spot.
with pc parts your better off buying all the parts at once in case one of them is dead. if you do buy parts each month start with a good case and a known good brand power supply. buy the ram/cpu/mb/gpu last with the hard drive.

I think the real 20nm Maxwell cards will offer a big performance jump. You won't want a 780Ti in a few months; as it's likely to be only as powerful as a upper mid-range Maxwell GPU. The replacement for the GTX680/770 will be the card to "have".
I may have been too kind. Tom's has tested the GTX 750Ti. It appears Maxwell will live up to its reputation. Double the graphical performance per watt!! And if a low-end 125 watt Maxwell GPU matches a Titan/780Ti; overnight those old cards will become almost worthless.
I must say... I'm really looking forward to these new GPU's!
The GTX Titan is a year old today... may it rest in peace(eWaste).
