there is no point waiting for prices to drop on the best stuff, might as well pay full price as new.
all brands make new models like every 6 months, by time the price drops, you have an old piece of hardware. if its about money, buy the 4th best card now because its cheaper.
leave (very) high end gaming to the gamers that have money to waste. because technically, (very) high end computers only stay great for about 6 months, and those gamers must CONSTANTLY be upgrading. its a hobby in itself to have the best computers.
