Get new card or wait for Maxwell?

Honestly if it were me and I already have that 3930k and plenty of ram like yourself and played at that res I would pick up a 290 or at a minimum 280x and a 120ish gig SSD for windows.. Use your old HDD as a game drive and you would be set for quite a long time.

I am assuming you do not have a SSD so the SSD alone will make it feel like a new computer as everything from boot up to general windows tasks will seem instant from what your used to. SSD might be the best investment I ever made. Between that and the new vid card I see no reason why you wouldnt be set for a couple years.

Have a Vetex 2 60GB, but the SSD is for another tread, although the MX100 256GB looks really good if it hits £70.
 
I think maybe the best thing to do is wait and see what Tonga does and play games like Dead Space or something. From what I understand it will be the same as the 280 and 280x, only a lot more efficient and most likely higher clock speeds and a bit cheaper.
