Should I get my computer now or wait for Pascal or Polaris

Ryocool64

I have in mind to order in a few days this rig:

 

Intel i5 6600k

Asus Z170-Pro

GTX 970 Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming

Corsair RM750x

16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400Mhz

 

24" BenQ XL2411Z

 

Corsair Hydro Series H60

 

I think that the GPU's are being released in the first quarter this and I don´t know if I should invest on this one knowing that new GPU's are on their way

I can, I'm not that desperate to get a new PC, just that I have a current budget and I need a good upgrade from my old PC

Yes, typically you shouldn't wait, but this next line of GPUs is going to be substantial leap.

 

Just get the whole system without a GPU for now if you want. Or if you have the budget, you can get like a 750ti or 950 to hand down as a stop-gap solution.

Normally you shouldn't wait. But it's an architecture and manufacturing process leap this time, should be a good improvement.

Change in the VRAM and Nanometer manufacturing doesn't come with out performance differences.

Buying a 1070 won't have a 300% benefit over a 970, that's not how they sell GPU's. It'll be around how powerful the 970 is compared to the 770 today, which isn't much of a fair comparison since nVidia left Fermi to die. I'd recommend buying a PC now, enjoying it, then buying a new GPU later this year if you want. 

 

Also, Pascal and Polaris will not be launched in the first quarter. nVidia wouldn't slaughter the profit machine that the 980ti is that quickly. 

I used to be quite active here.

That the performance increase is substantial.

Yeah, yeah...:dry:

 

I was really just hoping one of you had some leaked info or something that could get me excitied.

THE PEOPLE DEMAND SPECS! BENCHMARKS! PICTURES!

 

The only recent news I've heard is about NVidia delaying.
