I have decided to wait a month (until the supposed week 50 release) before deciding on the GPU and buying the package. It wasn't an easy decision.
Having unusually spare cash in the bank at risk from all of life's little foibles is like having a Ferrari on the drive but you can't find the key !
The 6000s out now are priced just at or above the 5000s they replace. I'm hoping the 6970/5870 situation will be the same.
I'd like to thank everyone for their comments and advice. And any more that may come. I'll keep you posted.
