So I have been wanting to build a custom PC for a while now (on a budget) and ill post that here http://pcpartpicker.com/list/BHmkLD and so that is the build I have been with for a while whilst i rack up the money to get the parts, but then recently I have seen the new Polaris Rx 480 graphics card from AMD and I have seen that it has really good performance for the money. So this is were I am on this. Since the graphics cards have nearly the same price should i wait a month to find out if the 480 is worth waiting for or not and just stick with the R9 380 that is in my build??? Thanks if you can help :)

yeah, they're claiming its "good vr" (where "bad" vr is like google cardboard) on a $200 card. thats saying a lot for performance, however we dont have any performance numbers yet. its possible it will be better, its possible its only a bit over its previous iteration. but we will know soon, its worth waiting to know.

if i were you, i would wait for the 480 because it potentially could even beat the 390. im not sure though.
