Is HBM going to be the new thing? Just getting into building pcs. A flagship like https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-21246-00-40G/dp/B01012TLSS/ref=sr_1_1?tag=amazon0606-20&s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1445198429&sr=1-1&keywords=Fury+x
If I want to build a pc now, should I just stay with grdd5x?

idk lol.. but should I just get a 1070 in the mean time? when will HBM actually be a standard thing?
HBM exists to solve a problem that we are only now running into. Namely the limitations of GDDR5 in regards to bandwidth and associated power draw. GDDR5X is just a stopgap that Nvidia used because they backed HMC and JEDEC chose HBM instead.

HBM will be out in the next year or two, if you really just want a placeholder until it's mainstream, buy an rx 470 or gtx 1060 3GB.
