The thing with this though (and I'm no expert so feel free to correct me) is that the rumors suggest that the HD 8000 series won't be a big jump over the current line-up. Something like 10-30%, which I've heard is entirely possible to reach with current cards by overclocking them. Seeing how they've been using driver updates to get big boosts to the latest games, I don't know if Sea Islands will have a huge impact anyway.
I myself want to replace my 6870 (among other things). But considering how I'm no power player, I wouldn't mind getting a 7950 and then just waiting for the 9000 series. It's not like I play many games on PC anyway, and the ones I do aren't super taxing.
