I have an Nvidia GT 220 and an Intel Duo E6600 with ddr2 memory, and I have been waiting to upgrade for 2-3 years.

That rig is ~9 years old and I'd really need a new one, but the new Nvidia cards coming likely on August 30th, should I wait or just pick up a 1080 with i5 8400 and 16GB ddr4 3000Mhz?

Agreed with Lucene. Right now all we have are rumors. Nobody knows for certain what the prices are, how they will perform compared to each other, etc. You'll definitely

Lucene - I think OP means which card for the new i5-8400 system that is planned to be purchased with the new video card.

I see. And when the new GPUs come out, should I purchase a 1160 or a 1080 (which will be probably pretty cheap)

Part of the wait is just to reduce buyer regret. We don't know for certain if prices will actually drop for existing GPUs after new ones release (assuming they got released). I personally would wait "up to" a maximum of 3 months, and just buy a high performing card with performance-per-dollar in mind, as long as it fit with my budget.

Bear in mind that you will need a whole new system for a powerful GPU, seeing that your current one got low specs.
