Will GTX 900 Series Price Drop? (And Other Questions)

[Buggu]

I currently have a honking' big NZXT Phantom 630 and a long 300mm GTX 960 2gb (Gigabyte G1 GAMING). I live in a suburb and I have a large room with lots of space for my massive PC, and my massive PC has lots of space for my massive GPU. However, I am moving to a city this summer and my new room will not have nearly as much space for my gigantic PC case. Add that to the fact that the Phantom looks horrendously out-of-place in the new room and you have a big problem. I have been looking to downsize my rig to a Corsair 250D, but the 250D's GPU clearance cannot accommodate my GPU. As such, I am in the market for a new graphics card. I have many, many questions about said graphics card.

-What GPU should I buy? I have a 1680x1050 monitor now but in the future might get one that is higher-definition. I don't want to do yearly upgrades or anything.
-Should I buy the GPU used in the last answer now (May 8), or wait until the 10 series is released on June 10 such that the 9 series prices drop?
-Is the Corsair 250D a good case for a small space? If not, what is a good case that someone who isn't an electrical engineer or something could achieve good cable management in?

Wait for 10 series gpus to hit the market.
Gtx 1070 has a great price to performance ratio but if it's out of your budget wait for gtx 1060ti, it will have better performance than a gtx 970 and it will be similarly priced.
Gtx 980 price may drop but it will still be more expensive than a gtx 1070.

I am sure the prices of 900 series will drop below 1000 series.

I would wait for the new 1000 series to come out if I were buying new, I'd live with whatever integrated graphics I get from the CPU in the meantime.

As far as good cable management goes the number 1 thing is a fully modular PSU, makes for far fewer headaches in the long run no matter the case, so long as it fits the case, modular is the way to go.
