I'm actually cautiously optimistic about the price of the new components, not because I belive that they'll be cheaper, but because I think the'll be about the same as current hardware.

Let's remember this little slide:

Yes, it's true that we're a bit late, but the important point is that cost won't go up. So I With that and t

Because of that, and also because I think that the launch cards won't have large chips like those inside the 980Ti/Titan X or the Fury cards, I believe that prices will mostly remain the same.

Even more, if AMD's Zen does actually perform as they say, we could see CPU prices going a bit down (I'm looking at you, Intel's i7 & K chips!)

Well if I remember correctly I got my 980 for around the £400 mark, is it safe to say the enw flagships will cost that much?. £400 is the absolute max I'm willing to spend ona  single GPU, if the new line is £600+ then I'm just going to skip the new build or go AMD if they do things cheaper but still retain the power.

It's hard to say as the $ or € to £ conversions never makes sense, but I don't see them going much higher than those £400.

Of course it will also depend on when they launch. If AMD launches first and Nvidia feels like they have better hardware, they won't hesitate to price it higher. But if it's on par, then they'll be more reasonable.
