I'm ready to pull the trigger on this , the only thing holding me back is the fact that the 390x is coming out mid June. So my question is , should i go for it now or wait for the new gen? ( currently gaming at 1440p on my 670 ) .

Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...

Can you wait until June? If you can I would, either the 390x / 380x will attract you more, or the 290x will drop in price a lot more.

I guess i can wait , but i dont want to spend more than 450€ on a GPU .

 

The build is good to go as of now, but if you already have the 670, then i would probably buy the PC, but wait till June for the GPU.

 

That's an option .

I'd defenitely go for the 970 with 290x at such prices. For example this model: http://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90582220/zotac-geforce-gtx-970-amp-omega-core-edition.asp

 

65€ less, cooler, consumes way less and same performance at 1440p.

Build: CPU: Intel i5 4690k OC = 4.4Ghz | GPU: Gigabyte R9 285 OC = 1100/1575MHz | MB: MSI Z97M Gaming | RAM: Corsair 8GB 2133MHz CL9 | Storage: Crucial MX100 512GB Cooler: Thermaltake Frio Silent 14 | Case: Cooltek U3 | PSU: Corsair RM550 | Monitor: Dell UltraSharp 2414h | Keyboard: Steelseries 6gv2 | Mouse: Corsair M95

 

FireStrike score = 7803. Graphic score = 9363 (record single r9 285).
