Eh... I build a new machine about every 4 years. $1000 is still a-ok as a price point. $1000 on a new machine will get you running basically any new release at 1080p 60fps with only a little tweaking in the settings. I usually do 4k @ 60fps with medium/high graphics on my now nearly 4 year old rig, and it's FINE. Don't buy these stupidly overpriced cards unless you have a really compelling use case (as in - you're using these commercially) or you're overflowing with cash.
