Hi!
Would it be a waste of money i were to buy the gtx 660 non ti card, when theres rumours that the gtx 700 series is just around the corner?
Could people give me some advice on what to do?
Should i wait for the 700 series?

(hoping to pay around £150 - £200)

What cpu / overclock, and res do you game at? Also, what psu do you have?

Don't wait for the 700 series, could be quite a while.

If your cpu is suitable, then either of these would be a good place to start :

Amd fx 6100 - 3.9 ghz

And hopefully with the new graphics card i will play at 1920x1080

And i have been looking at the gtx 660... But msi's twin frozr 3 line up
I found it for 167 pounds

Sounds good to me

What do you think?

I'd suggest buying a 7870XT or second hand / b-grade 7950 at that budget

Chances are the 7** and 8**** series will not come till late this year or next year.

Thanks!!
Ill take a look At those cards!

From the rumours i heard, apparently the 7xx series is supposed to output 15% more perfermance than the 6xx series :S

To me this isnt enough to lure me into saving my money for the new card :/
