It all depends on how badly you want it. If you want it really badly then go ahead and get it. It'll still last you quite a while. If you don't have a huge urge to go for it right now, then feel free to wait around for the gtx 880. The gtx 780 is still a good card and overkill for 1080p gaming. 1440p gaming will run very well on it as of now.
The way I see it:
If you keep waiting for something better to come out, then you'll never get anything done. When the new things from nVidia come out, AMD will then respond. If you're a person who's open to AMD options, then you'll probably be waiting to see the response and how they work out.
I mean, ordering the system without the graphics card can work, you'll be limited on the graphics settings that you can play on. Hell, if you want to get a cheap dedicated gpu as a place holder for now, then you could do that.
Rumors are rumors anyways. My preference is to just take them lightly. Unless an official statement is released, they're just words.
yes i want it pretty bad
so ive made up my mind to wait for the 880
but should i get the rest of my build now?
i dont see any upcoming improvements in either the cpu or the mobo department(im getting a z97 mobo
i also dont see any significant price drops in these remaining components
so i might as well get them now
and run integrated graphics
and is 780 really overkill for 1080?
i dont think its overkill for a 144hz monitor
