Unless the next gen. is way too pricey when it comes out and/or you just don't want to wait (I understand that feeling!).
    Yes Nvidia's Keplers (GTX 6xx) are due out this month. Quantities will be very limited though and we'll also see AMD's 7xxx series dry up a bit. The reason is because TSMC (who makes the 28nm wafers for both GPU companies) stopped production completely a few weeks ago to tweak their machinery. Assuming their tweaking is successful, then we'll see higher production than before from both companies.

    Yep. Now we just need HDD prices return to levels equal to last spring/summer. They are still 2x ~ 3x last years lows.
