    Which to upgrade

    I think I'll likely wait until early next year around feb. or so. I'm not really considering anything right now, likely a 770 or 760. Staying around the $400 range. Though since I am doing this big upgrade now I may just wait until the 800s since I'm not in a terrible hurry.
