Is GTX 760 is worth the money, or should I wait for the Maxwell architecture to come out?

I am looking to buy a new new GPU, its most likely to be a GTX 760. But do you think its going to keep me going for at least 2-3 years. Or should I wait for the Maxwell architecture, and does anyone know how long I have to wait
 
Maxwell is more power efficient, but that doesn't necessarily mean a $250 Maxwell version will be a more powerful gaming card than the GTX760 since we don't know the pricing yet.

It's all rumors still, but I'd say at least three months. (of course the GTX750Ti is Maxwell and here already but it's a $150 card and similar to AMD less power efficient cards of the same price)

I'm estimating roughly 30% more processing power at the same die size, but 10% to 20% more value though prices may be high at launch so there may not be ANY added value.
