Would you buy a vapour-x 5870 now or wait?

So i've found somewhere that has vx 5870's in stock. They cost about £341 so bit more then ocuk.

Ocuk couldnt tell me when they're gonna get more stocks :(

So would you get one of these now? there are a few threads on the mb that say that gpu's are going up 5-10% in price in the next few months.

So bite the bullet and get one now? wait till nvidia get their ar$e in gear and release their card to see if ati's come down in price?

was gonna sell a matrox dhtg and a 4870 which should net about £200/300 - so the cost of the card maybe wont be too much of an issue - but getting a Sapphire Active DisplayPort looks like it might.

but didnt really wanna get a card now just to see them drop by £100 in price.

I've been finding reasons to put off getting one, I figure unless i do it soon i'll find another reason to wait.. I'd quite like one.....ow dear i'm rambling a little. but you get my point?
 
Seriously doubt they will drop in price, In fact they will probably go up soon, and then how P***ed will you be?...

yea man i know that's what i keep telling myself, get one now......then a little voice in my head tells me that i could spend that money on somthing else like decorating a room in my house or somthing....!! perhaps i'll just get one and not tell the misses
 
Well if you're getting £300 ish for your stuff then it's not really like you're going to be spending anything, if you wait and they do happen to drop are you really going to be arsed about 20/30£ when you ar eonly going £41 out of pocket for the card anyway??
