Perfect; I'm building a rig with a GTX 980 this spring, along with the release of this game. By that time, AMD may have released their 390 series, which will push the prices of the 980's down; that and the fact that the 970 is selling so much better will put a lot pressure on nVidia to lower the prices, especially on the entry model 980's.

I hope this is the case, I plan on grabbing a 980 this year but hopefully when it's cheaper, I'm sporting a 680 atm and soon a donated 780ti which should handle W3 at recommended which will do me fine for the time being until I grab the 980.

That said I'm upgrading to at least 8gb DDR3 but that was a friend's suggestion since I want to bump it up to 16gb for gaming, recording and editing.

Yeah, May/June is likely a good time to get a new GPU! My hardware is approaching ancient now and I need to replace everything, which is why I decided to just build a new one from scratch, I'll also be getting a tower with even better cooling. 16GB of RAM might not be mandatory today but I'm thinking that it will be damn near that within 2-3 years so I'm going for it right away.

A good amount of RAM is good for recording and editing, DDR3 should be fairly cheap and even has decent clock speeds now.
