So now we know that GTX 950 and 960 will come in january, and i am wondering, is it worth buying the gtx 750ti now? my budget is 200-300$ + high taxes of my country.
Also i have an FX 4300 4.2 ghz cpu, m5a78m lx mobo and cx500w psu, and i dont know if they will be compatible...

Well, you know what they say: If you do need a new graphics card now then get the GTX 750ti (which uses Maxwell architecture already) if you can wait bear in mind that the newer stuff will allways be better. I'd aim for the GTX 960 when it comes out, but that's up to you.

On another topic, I'd also replace that CPU, as it is getting a bit old, but that's totally up to you and your needs.

Yea ill change it next year, for now i will overclock it to 4.2 ghz and leave it like that until i replace it, should handle the card.
I will buy a GTX 750ti OC from msi thats pretty strong and have everything i need for the next 2 years, then i would get a newer 900 series card.

Yeah, that's the way to go. Personally I'd go for the 750 aswell. It's a great card for the price and already uses the power efficient and newest Maxwell architecture. Go for it, you won't be displeased!

Probably too late, but go with the 750. It's a great card, and can handle almost anything I throw at it. I also agree with the CPU suggestion. I have one of the new i5's in mine, and i'm pushing just over 5 Ghz (Like I could ever use that much anyway, but nice to have...)
