Should I pull the trigger on a 980Ti?

I want to run the new Tomb Raider absolutely maxxed out at 1080p.

I also want to play FSX with lots of add ons over 2 1080p screens.

I also want to be able to upgrade to a 4k monitor in the next 3 months without any issues.

Problem is, this is over £500 I'm dropping on it. Is it overkill or do I need a card like this for the 3 things I've listed?
 
When it comes to FSX though, am I still running at 1080p when running 2 screens or is the resolution extended. I'm not extending across 2 monitors. I'm running as 2 separate screens and opening up a new window on the second monitor. Would that need more grunt than merely extending the desktop?

If your well to do yes buy 980Ti right now, cause come time for new series you'll have the cash to spend, but if moneys tight I would say wait for new series of cards. Or at least wait until GTC is over early april for some more news on Nvidia and AMD release.

That's the thing. By the time Pascal comes, if it's worth it, I could probably get a few quid back for the 980ti and easily afford the Pascal.
 
Cheers guys, I went for the Gigabyte extreme in the end, and a couple of 6 to 8 pin adaptors for my psu. I just hope my Corsair 620w is enough to power it.
