I have a 720p 32in TV that I intend to use as a gaming pc monitor. As far as I'm concerned it is good enough for me. My buddy has a 32in 1080p TV and I honestly can't tell the difference. I have every intention of using it till it dies, which (hopefully) won't be for at least 5 more years.
Onto the question at hand. I'm looking at buying some components for a gaming rig in the next two weeks. My processor is an i5-4570, no interest in overclocking. Everything else is set in stone, but I'm just not sure if I should hold off for AMD's 9000 series graphics cards or go for the Gigabyte 7950 I have picked out. So my question is: should I wait and see what 9000 brings or will the 7950 last me for the next several years? Its worth noting that I want to keep the price in the $250 area, but for the 9000 series I may stretch to $300. I've considered a gtx 760, but the price of the 7950 with the Never Settle bundle is just to sweet a deal for me to pass up.

Of course in this case the 9000 series is due out soon...so you may want to hold off.
