Post Body

As the announcement that Nvidia is making on the 18th is confirmed to be the Maxwell announcements, I would advise anyone building a PC or upgrading GPU's to wait, even if your plan was to buy AMD.

We have no idea what to expect as far as price of the new cards, price drops for the old or for AMD cards in response to the new Nvidia cards, etc., and it'd just be horrible for you to buy a GPU now (instead of waiting) and lose money for no reason.

Just a friendly suggestion. Feel free to buy GPU's if you must; but I would highly, HIGHLY recommend to just wait a couple weeks to see what will happen.
