wait for pascal or upgrade now?

[Craner-595]

Right guys at the minute im running a R9270x and a fx 6300. I was looking forward to upgrading when the new gen of cards comes out later this year. Unfortunatly a fan on my GPU decided to get a bit wobbly and will need replacing!

The new fan will however take 2 weeks!! to get to me which is annoyingly long. So im stuck between getting a new card now (something like a R9 380x) or buying some fans and waiting it out until later this year.

any advice will be very much appreciated!!

I would buy new fans and wait until Pascal comes out, there are many reasons for this, one is that although the 380x is new and works quite well, in a a few months, it's going to be old hardware and you're going to wish you waited, second of all, the prices are very high right now, but they're going to drop exponentially as soon as those graphics cards are released because they're going to be old tech. You should just buy new fans for your 270 and wait until pascal comes out. Plus, you'll have more money to spend on other stuff when they do come out. Enjoy your frames!
