I'd wait and snipe one off of eBay right after Pascal comes out. People will be freaking the fuck out and start quickselling their cards for like $200.

Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

Would a GTX 960 4GB or 970 4GB still be worth buying ? or is it going to be pretty much a waste of cash since the pascal cards are coming out

Fry's Electronics has a GTX 970 for $250 this week with a promo code. If that trend continues, there's absolutely no reason to even consider the 960, 380 or 380X going forward. Is it worth snapping up a 970 at that price? If you're not going to turn around and upgrade to a 1070/1080 over the summer, yeah, I'd go for a 970 in a heartbeat with prices coming down like they are.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.
