second hand or brand new?

wait untill Pascal hitts the market and pick up a 900 series card like a 980 or 970 for super cheap

[Dabasepc]

wait for the GTX 1070 to come out (may 27). the maxwell cards will drop price. you will be able to get yourself a GTX 970 for dirt cheap.

970's and 390"s really won't drop "super cheap" what ever that means. They will and already have dropped a little bit and maybe bundled with a game, they are not going to drop much more.  You can expect more sales like these: 

 

R9 390 $289

He means used, I have seen a 980 Go for £150.

First it is important to know what you require the cards to do. 
This way, you can "calculate" on which card to go with.

 

Do you just wish ultra gameplay with ok fps? 
- then the 970 or 980 is properly enough for you. 
It is all about the requirements.

Your question is hard to answer because you did not include your current setup. Consider your CPU too, one might suggest you to grab a 980 or 970 but your CPU will present a bottleneck.
