Hey guys. i'm planning to buy the new GTX 950.i found a retailer online called MD computers(based in WB) selling the ASUS Strix 950 for 14,999 and the Zotac GTX 950 AMP! edition for 15,999. i just wanted to know if the price of the GTX 950 is going to drop any time soon. I'm building a new PC and was just wondering whether it's better to wait another month or so to buy the graphics card. And if the extra cost of the Zotac AMP! edition is justified.
Thank you.

I think you should wait for a price drop, may save 1-2k

considering the 960 launched for almost 20k and is down to 15k now, its worth waiting ~3 months to see price drop

the variants of the GTX 950 that are currently available with mdcomputers have 2 cooling fans-afaik all well known gpu manufacturers have also released another variant of gtx 950 that has just one cooling fan and therefore it should be slightly cheaper than the one with 2 fans-as the gtx 950 gpu runs fairly cool,2 fans aren't really necessary unless you are going for the OC'ed versions,therefore you might consider buying the single fan version and saving some money in the process.

And i dont think buying the more expensive amp edition will be worthwhile-it will be a better idea to get the gtx 960 for roughly the same price.

Your description seems that you should wait.
