Hardware configuration: Intel i7-4770K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR3-2133 Corsair Vengence (black/red), EVGA GTX 760 @ 1200 MHz, on an Asus Maximus VI Hero MB (black/red), in a blacked out Antec P280 Tower, with a Xigmatek Night Hawk (black) HSF, Seasonic 760w Platinum (black case, sleeves, wires), 4 SilenX 120mm Case fans with silicon fan gaskets and silicon mounts (all black), a 512GB Samsung SSD (black), and a 2TB Black Western Digital HD (silver/black).
The only thing we know for sure is that every prediction is premature before the hardware drops. Any comment before then is speculation. It's not unlike posting how you plan to spend you Lottery winnings. Fun while it lasts, but not productive to a support forum.

Is that better or worse I havent been keeping up with hardware any more.. I am trying to decide on waiting on pascal or grab another 980ti

It might fold twice as fast, or it may not fold at all until a new FAHCore comes out, or it's just another incremental increase for an incremental price. As I said above, no one knows yet. No one has any info to help with your buying decision yet. Sorry.
We still don't know what the customer grade Pascal GPU will be like ... it might be completely different than GP100 (gamers don't need DP for instance).
