I expect high 200-sub 350 range for both with amd usually being a little cheaper. You can't really go wrong this time around it seems. 6 or 8GB won't matter on those cards any time soon especially at 1080p. Its a good time for an upgrade. I expect mass availability (or not gouged prices) for both brands by the end of august-mid september. Make sure you know the retail prices before you pick one it looks like both companies have slightly higher prices depending on vendor.
Your CPU will be great for a while as only intels second gen sandy bridge (2xxx) line is only just starting to show its age 5 years later.
