Had a previous question asking a similar question, building first pc and gpu options, heard that there might be new nvidia cards out at the start of next year and there might be an announcement about new amd cards then so do i buy now or wait, if i wait do i buy a second hand card now or a new lower tier card now, if they do come out at the start of next year will probably not but straight away so this card i buy now will need to last at least 6-12 months. budget: no idea but not excessive under £400 with the ability to sell on later. current potential build: 9800x3d msi b850 edge ti 64gb ram will game at 1440p. dont really want any that use the 16 pin connector.thanks.
 
use is gaming and various other tasks like multitasking and video editing as i run many things at once so i need the 64gb(currently using 32gb and it isnt enough),it needs to last as long as possible as current pc has lasted 8 years, i have the budget for the 9070 xt but not sure if its the right time to spend it all or should i wait and get a lower priced card to last say 6-12 months, put off the nvidia cards by hearing and watching about thr 16 pin connector problem.
