the AMD 7850 and 7870 cards are supposed to come out on the 19th, which might change the pricing on some of the midrange gpus. while the 7850 looks like it's going to be a rock solid card, supposedly it'll cost $250, but maybe it'll cause something like the radeon 6950 to drop below $200 and you can snag one and unlock it to a 6970... or, as many people will tell you, wait for NVIDIA to release kepler cards for a price drop/new cards there, but it may be a longer wait than 1-2 weeks (tho rumors seem to indicate it'll be around the 22nd or 23rd of this month)

Thanks for the tip, I am sooo going to wait for the new NVIDIA then. What NVIDIA models should I consider?

GTX 560ti eh? Seems reasonable. I don't want to CF with another one of these, it has been giving me lots of problems.
