Should I buy a 270x now (black friday) or wait until Christmas?

I currently have an MSI GTX 560ti twin frozr edition, and I'm wanting to upgrade my graphics card.  I don't want to spend that much money as I'm currently in college, and I'm just starting to get back into gaming.  I'm not sure if my 560ti would handle GTAV (one of the biggest I want to play) that well, and I'm thinking of getting a 270x as an upgrade.  I can get one roughly $140 after rebate.  Should I wait until Christmas or should I spring now?

 

If it's any relevance, my current specs are:

i5-2500k at 4.0ghz

8gb ram

520W psu

Forget the 270x. Get an R9 280 right now for $130 after rebate

Why the i5 over the FX-8350?

There is a small chance that you may find a lower price but if there is a price taht you can live with now then get it and if anything return it and get the lower price.

 

Hope this helps
