Lets face it, we are biting at the ankles of 4k gaming....

When can I expect the next Flagship Card from NVIDIA? 

And if its really worth waiting for, what cheap GPU can I get by on? (Motherboard for current build does not have on-board graphics).

Wait because 2016 is a few months away. or if you have enough, a 980 or 970 will still be enough in about 2-3 years

You can't expect anything because there's no information. You can end up waiting forever for the next thing.
