R9 280x now or later?

[ChocolateGuy97]

I was wondering if I should buy the r9 280x now or should I wait since my build will not be complete until the end of January. Does anyone think that the prices will decline at all or would just keep inflating?

I'd wait until you have all your components and your build is ready to be built, then look for a GPU. In general, the more you wait the bigger the chances are for GPU's to drop in price. So keep an eye out for any discounts, since the holidays are right around the corner.

Wait for now. If prices don't drop by then, get a GTX 770 instead.

Prices in UK are much cheaper so they'll likely drop in NA but I have no idea when. Maybe two months?

At Superbiz they still list the THREE GAMES with the GTX770s like THIS one:

I'm not sure if the codes still work as Newegg seems to have dropped them, but it's a great deal. Try to redeem ASAP. Games included (if codes work):

Batman Arkham Origins
Splintercell Blacklist
AC4
