I'm upgrading my rig primarily for playing and livestreaming Wildstar.
CPU will be OCd i7-4770k.

My current GPU is a HD 6970.

The guides I've read here say you should move up 3 tiers when upgrading, so I'd be looking at the GTX 770/R9 280x tier. I'm also very deal savy, I see the R9 280x are starting to come back to retail, however I was really hoping to go with a NVIDIA card this gen. But I've also read that the gtx 800 series will be releasing soon. Is this a bad time to upgrade? should I wait? any advice appreciated.

Definitely the GTX 770, or wait 6-12 months for the GTX 860.

There is no confirm release date for Maxwell but it will be in the Q3 2014 and it will be a big performance increase from current generation.
