My current setup is an I7 6700K (overclocked to 4.5GHz), Asus Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard and a GTX 980, with a 1440p monitor. I'm considering upgrading to an RTX 2070 Super, which from what I've read should give me a good performance boost and not be especially held back by my CPU.

Of course, there is the prospect of the RTX 3000 series on the horizon, so I have a couple of questions. Admittedly, both of them are going to require pure speculation but I thought I'd at least canvas opinions:
  1. Are the 3000 series cards likely to be significantly bottlenecked by the rest of my system? I have no real interest in upgrading the CPU at the moment.
  2. Are prices of the 2000 series cards likely to drop when the 3000 series comes out?
Ultimately I just want to know if it's worth me waiting for several more months or if I should just pull the trigger now...
 
Nope, don't have Freesync. A better monitor is another potential purchase in the future...

Sounds like it would be best to wait for now. Was just worried that a next-gen card would be overpowered in my system but if not I'm happy to wait!
