Time to upgrade but right now? Help

[Xerco]

I have the money!

I'v had my eyes set on the 780Ti for quite some time, and I now have the money to obtain it.

But, I am not in a rush and can wait quite a while if things will change in the next few months. My budget is around the £550 mark, and I think with a GPU upgrade my system will leap ahead.

Here are my specs:
MSI P67A-GD55 Intel P67
Intel Core i7-2600K @ 4.2GHz (Sandybridge)
470GTX 2GB
Antec TruePower New Modular 650W '80 Plus Bronze'
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB
Samsung F3 1TB
2 X 4GB DDR3 RAM (cant remember but can find out if needed.)
My monitor is 1920x1080 and I use the PC for gaming.

Should I just go for a 780Ti and if so which one? Or should I wait a month or two?

Thanks for your time, Xerco

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking, which would you go for I've read that there have been some issues with some of the cards.

I've been looking at this one, thoughts?

YOUR BASKET
1 x Inno3D GeForce GTX 780Ti iChill OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (C78T-1SDN-L5HSX) £521.99
Total : £521.99 (includes shipping : ).

I'd probably go for the DHS version of the Inno3D card if it was my money. I think they're binned.

there's a possibility Maxwell 880 will be out in September, but that's salt pinching at best. Id say go for it, it would yield a 4 fold increase on your system anyway. Although, id probably go for a 780 personally, fast enough, good over clocker and £100 cheaper. I say this as im in the same boat myself, i have a 460 and im ready to upgrade.

Rumors are we're still a few months away from anything new on the Nvidia side. So I would just go for it now tbh.

It's worth taking a look for the best deal you can get, the GTX 780 Ti can be had brand new with Watch Dogs for around £450.

OCUK have the DCUII at a great price atm as well > http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...cm/skinflint-couk&campaign=pcm/skinflint-couk

I have two MSI gaming editions and love them. super cool,quiet and good clockers. If you shop about you can get one for under 400 (closer to 350) and you couid add a second later

Great price for a 780Ti and the DCII is a great cooler.

Yep, the cooler is very good. I'd say only the Inno3D cooler is better.

Hey so I went and bought this card:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-241-MS

Works fine, did a fresh install of win 7 but when under load there is a whinning noise, and im pretty sure it is coming from the PSU. I have ramped the fans up on the gpu and it is not coming from them. Any ideas?

Psu or gpu I would say.Coil whine may go away after few weeks if it's coming from the card (brand new).
