Should I buy a GTX 780 Ti, or wait for the new Maxwell gpu's from nvidia?

[Austinomical]

I am making a new gaming build from scratch, as mine is totally outdated. I have been researching for months, and I thought I had my build ready to go (link below to my part list if interested). But I recently discovered that the next gen gpus are coming out soon for Nvidia, the new Maxwell architecture. Should I wait, or just build my pc now?

Go for it the 780ti is great

Just go for it now. There will always be something new just around the corner.

Maxwell is currently rumoured for Q3/Q4 2014.
By that time you will be thinking "Should I wait on Intel to release Broadwell CPU's?"
By the time Intel release Broadwell, something else will be just around the corner.
and the cycle continues...

the 780 came out in june i think, so it cant be far to 880, best to wait

Get a 780ti, performance isn't going to sky rocket, the only thing that's going to sky rocket is the price. These new cards might be 10% faster, and use 20% less power. You can get that missing performance by over clocking anyway.

There have been many reports that the 20nm Maxwell cards will be delayed until 2015. Here is one such sample: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-maxwell-20nm-delay,26419.html

At the very least, they won't be out until late this year if the rumors are false. I guess the question is, do you want to wait until 2015 or maybe Xmas time at best?

Yes I agree with everyone on board, simply because technology is advancing so fast that there is simply no point, it is like waiting for the next iphone.
However, from a PC gaming perspective, I have did some research and heavily considered getting the 780 ti now, simply cuz its the best of the best in terms of Keplar GPU's and the new Maxwell, however efficient they may be, 230W compared to the Keplar's 350 ish give or take (dont quote me to heavily on the numbers) do not have benchmarks to ultimately conclude if the performance increase is really worth it. Speculating the pricing to be around the same $700 ish, it would be better to go for the 780ti's. ALSO not to mention when the 800s do come out there will be a massive price drop on the 780 ti's which means u would be able to buy 1 or 2 more to do SLI with. At this point go with 780ti and until u hear more and see more later there isnt a compelling reason to wait. Another HUGE HUGE reason is the wait for the nonreference gtx 800s. Say you wait for the 800 reference, u will then want to a couple months for the non-referenced editions from other manufacturers, and that in my opinion would be a huge pain in and of itself.
Hope this helps =)
