Well ronzer, I wish you the best of luck. If you wait for the latest and greatest so current gen hardware comes down in price, you will be waiting for ever because there will always be cheaper, faster, stronger hardware down the road. It's the nature of the beast. Not pushing you one way or another, but unless you already have a setup, waiting for the next gen hardware to become more affordable, means you will not be racing any time soon. On the other end of the spectrum, waiting and buying new grants you full warranties, in some cases free games with your hardware purchases, time to save up more funds and there by giving you more of a future proofed system that could last 3-4 years without any major upgrades.
I'm a bit of Horse Power junkie as it comes to computer and more times than not have been on bleeding edge of this tech. Although it's great for a while, my bro's tend to have equal systems within 6 months of mine at a fraction of the cost. I am currently waiting on the GTX880's to come out so I can pick up a couple 780 hydros to replace my two 590's.
So, get what you can afford today and start racing, or save up a few more $$$ and wait for the prices of current technology to come down and be better prepared for future proofing your system.
Sometimes you just have to close your eyes and pull the trigger.
