Vega releases a long time before Volta. So Volta will naturally beat it. But if you want an AMD card, Vega is a great way to go.

Hmmm, I'm on the cusp of building a new rig come September so I'm in a bit of a pickle. If I want a single gpu 4k solution, from what we know of the Vega can it deliver? Or should I just hold out till Volta if I can?

Vega should be able to deliver if you don't expect 100fps across the board. It will feature the superior memory technology with HBM.

You should only wait when you really can. You can expect around 20% performance increase per generation leap. You have to decide if that's worth waiting for you. So the best advice here is as always, buy the best you can afford as soon as you really need it. If you wait, you can wait forever. After all in 2019 AMD will drop Navi, which will easily crush anything Volta.
