Wait for Navi Cards or buy Second-hand?

Hey Folks so Basically i have the monitor below which i picked up for under 390 pounds from none other than the best Retailer in the UK

Its Great and i Love it although the problem i have is i cant use the Freesync or 144hz as im currently running a HD 7850 2gb and struggle to get 60fps on Medium settings in most games

I Was Waiting to get a RX VEGA 56 Strix Edition as i Saved up 500 pounds for one as that's what i imagined the MSRP to be en till the whole Mining craze happend and the Memory shortages.

So I Hear that the Navi cards are Expected to Launch around August shall i wait and see what the prices will be like or shall i but a Second-hand Freesync capable card any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Ok Thanks for the Replies what price should i aspect to pay for say a RX 480 Strix and what sort of performance would i get?

What would be a reasonable price to pay for a RX 480 Strix looking at a second-hand one for around 250?

@Zhuni It was from OCUK when they had the 100 pounds off Voucher code

Im Now looking into getting a R9 380 4GB which i can get for around 100 pounds will this give me a Decent performance boost over my current 7850 and i will then be able to use Freesync/144hz entill either Vega cards come down in price or Navi cards are released im planning on playing games on Medium settings at 2560x1080 144hz

Ok What would you think an Acceptable price for a Second hand R9 380 2gb would be under 150?

 

[lloydcars18]

It's just for temporary fix so i can use Freesync cant justify payiuung over 250 pounds on a second hand GPU would rather keep 500 or so for Navi

shall I just get one of the new Nvidia cards when they come out in April could still use 144hz does Freesync make that much of a difference disappointed I can't use it.
