Yeah, i'm talking about a new GPU. Aren't they coming out with a new line of cards soon? Would this lower the 7950's enough to be in my price range? But my current resolution is 1680x1050. Well, that is the best my monitor can run i think?

The new cards are already out.

R9-270X = performance in between a Tahiti 7870 and a 7950, priced in the $200 range

R9-280X = roughly the same as 7970 and in the $300 range

R9-290X = Somewhere between the 780 and a Titan, even beats the Titan in some games. Priced in the $550 range.

7950 prices will not be going down unless you buy used. They were $200 before the new cards were released, and the 270X pricing seems to have driven the prices back up. PC parts generally enter a state of price limbo once they go out of production.
