Does anyone see competition to the R9 290x or 780ti (Both after mkt versions) in the NEAR Future?

Started to read lately that new GPUs are coming out. I'm in the process of trying to pick parts for a new build and was wondering if you guys think I should wait for the new cards to come out (basically they will lower the cost of the current cards and if anything I can buy them) or go ahead and buy the cards I was going to get regardless. I was looking into either a r9 290x(ASUS R9290X-DC2OC-4GD5 Radeon R9 290X 4GB or sapphire) or 780ti(ASUS DirectCU II GTX780TI-DC2OC-3GD5) so I'm worried since these cards have been out for a while and it would make sense for new GPUs to come out for x-mass. The only issue is will the "new" cards be faster then todays fast cards.

Gigabyte seems to have spilled the beans that the GTX 880 in any case will come out around late september or early october. It is also rumored that Nvidia will be making an announcement on the last day of Gamescon (tomorrow), so maybe we will find out soon.
