I've been planning on building my first system for a long time now, and finally am in a position to start doing it.
Obviously the 7800GTX is the fastest on the block right now, and it's very tempting for me to just go ahead and pick one up and get things rolling.
However, I know ATI's R520 is coming (so they say), and have heard rumours of a 7800GT Ultra released to compete with the R520.
I've waited so long to build my system that I'm now starting to grow really impatient, but if I drop $500 or more on a video card, I'd be really disappointed if the "next, faster" generation came out a mere month later.
Any recommendations on what would be the best strategy here would be appreciated, i.e. just pick up the 7800GTX now or wait a little longer for its successor (as long as it's not more than a month or two).
Thanks for any suggestions...
