Buy a 560ti now or wait for the Gtx 660?

Like the title says, should i get the the 560Ti next week, or should i wait for the 660? I heard that they will be priced around $200 and was thinking about waiting till mid-end July, and hoping for the GTX 660 to come out, but Nvidia seems so finky with its release dates.

Lets say its a new build, and you plan to play games like skyrim, CoD, and Starcraft II

If the GTX660's performance similar to the GTX 570, would it just be better to save ~$100 and just grab a 6850, since the performance is only 20% difference according to http://www.hwcompare.com/9024/geforce-gtx-570-vs-radeon-hd-6850/ and it draws ~70% more power?

Get the one that looks cooler.

Last time I check, it was expected to be around $300.

If you are able to spend a little more, I would look at the AMD HD 7850.
