(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm building my own Computer and are ordering parts per week. However, it's coming to the GPU and I'm still stuck.

R9 390 or GTX 970 !?

Here is my build @ You must login or register to view this content.

Any help is appreciated,

Cheers :yus:

Toke keeps telling me I need the R9 390 but I'm really not sure! What games have you played with the R9 390? Any running issues?

I played the newest game beta, Rainbow Six Seige. Average FPS is around 60-70 with all advance graphics. GTA can run at 60 FPS with all advance graphics. Nope, no issues running it. I bought the Gigabyte version where it has the silent stop edition when PC is not playing games.

So you're saying my PSU isn't powerful enough for a R9 390?

Can’t trickshot me!
You can run a R9 390 on a 550W PSU. 750W is just what's recommended. 750W isn't required.

GTX 970 and R9 390 perform the same. None is better than the other. All of this has already been explained in your original thread.
