So I'm getting about $215 this month, and want to buy a graphics card. I want to get the ASUS Direct CUII GTX 760. Do you think I should get this now or wait 'till the 960 comes out. I only have $230 at most. So does anyone know what pricing is going to be like? Thanks.

After the 960 launches,get the one which is the most money to performance value (if you plan on saving money)

R9 280

I've got a 550W power supply. Will that even be enough to drive a 280?

GTX960 is "expected" around Octoberish. Expected meaning that this is a likely sort of gap between the two releases. $215 sounds a little low given that the 970 is $350, I'd expect either $250 or $275 for the GTX960.

However this is all pure speculation until either there's a well sourced leak or the release itself

Okay, thanks everyone. I'll try to make myself hold out for the 960 release, but can't make any promises to myself.
