plus we have a tonne in great Acer monitor deals at moment as well due to them wanting stock out of warehouses before end of month due to financial year end.
I did notice a lot of great deals on the Acer stock, inc the spectacular XB321HK

You'd get a boost no doubt, but maybe wait for Polaris at that res (at 1440p+ I'd say go for it!!)
Im not, i don't think 4GB is enough, you would be mad to buy a card with only 4GB now, thats just imo.
Maybe for you because you bought two of them. For the rest of us with only one, 4gb seems perfectly ok.

Anyone know which monitor would be good to pair with this?

XFX is a division of Pine technologies whose financial year runs to the end of June
How much of an upgrade would this be from a 7950? yes I'm still using a 7950 and it has done me well up until recently where the newer titles struggle on my 1080p monitor. Is this worth the price or would I be able to get a better card for the same price when the newer cards are released?

No, Wait for the next gen cards and more ram. While the Fury does run games really well and allow me to run games at 1440p on my 1080p monitor there are games popping up that want more than 4 gb's of ram and as we saw with Tomb Raider Nvidia are quite happy making it happen so they can put a noticeable divide between there top end chips and AMD's. So wait, A Sapphire 290 is a great card.
I disagree, I have been forced to lower settings because of the ram rather than the fps more than once this year. And with Tomb Raider that was at 1080p.

The new cards probably won't show face for a while yet and for that performance, likely cost more. At this price id probably go for it. Would be a really big upgrade.
Yes I'm in the same(ish) boat as waiting for Pascal but this deal is really good...

This, got one myself, fantastic monitor, FreeSyncs great
Yeah, and that trends going to continue as well now imo, games are also coming now, where the recommended cards have more than 4GB vram, they are recommending the 390s on the AMD side, and the 980 Tis on the Nvidia side, which looks stupid doesn't it, as the Ti smashes the 390, you could say, AMD cards must be run the game better, as a 390s only needed for them, where as Nvidia, the top ends needed, but its not going off the performance, its going off the vram, which AMDs top end card doesn't have enough off, so it doesn't get recommended for the games, the lesser 390s do, so are effectively, the better cards.
I certainly wouldn't be buying a card with only 4GB vram now, thats for sure.
