My PC is already built and the only thing missing is a video card, I am wondering if I should wait for AMDs' "Tonga XT" or just get the R9 280X. .

Are you willing to wait till September? Do you care a lot about Power consumption/bit mining?

If you answered no to both, buy one now

If not, wait

If you're patient enough, yes should wait.
If you're NOT patient enough, then yes you should buy the R9 280X then sell it after once the Tonga XT cards are out.

The price is going to drop a lot though, and nVdia's Maxwell is coming September, so Tonga shouldn't be much longer either
