The only issue with me waiting is avoiding the MicroCenter and Fry's Black Friday deals. If I can get through those I can wait for a long time. If the 1070, 480, or 1060 has a great sale I will move on it.Waiting till computex in Jan would give you a fuller picture of where the market will be here soon. Unfortunately we have very little information other than Vega 10 will have 4096 shader cores (same as Fury X.) assuming it runs at or near 1500mhz that gives us 12tflop performance which is on par with the TITANXP. AMD's drivers and architecture are improving and Vega is a new architecture not just a BIG Polaris... So there's no way to know how fast it will be in the real world, but TITANXP performance isn't unlikely. Much like the R9 290X it came out a bit later but crushed the original Titan for only $600. I'm getting the same vibe with Vega. Of course here will be smaller/cheaper variants, but there's 0 information on those. Like I said if you can wait... That would be the best option.
Once I can pull the 760 from my current gaming PC I can put it in the Steam-Streaming, HTPC, Plex Serving computer I want to build. It's a tough wait but I think I can make it.
