I wouldn't ever go b-grade, the price reduction isn't worth having a worse warranty.

I also wouldn't go with XFX, they skimp on VRM cooling a lot of the time.

This is what i would pick, it has better VRM cooling and a very good cooler.

I wouldn't pick the 970 due to it having less RAM, the 390 has the advantage in Battlefront. It also has the edge over the 970 in DX12 support which Battlefront may be getting.

1 x Powercolor Radeon R9 390 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (AXR9 390 8GBD5-PPDHE) £249.95

If I were you I would decide on the monitor before thinking about the card. Resolution is a very important factor here. What res are you thinking of for your new monitor?

MSI or Sapphire 390.

Wouldn't touch powercolor ever. Great coolers, awful company. Probably still using cheap nasty fans as well.

The Titan X and 270X of course. . . .



390 and 970.
