Time to replace ATI 6950

[siclilmonkey]

Hey.
Looking for some advice if you don’t mind.

With Fallout 4 and Doom round the corner I think it is time to upgrade.

My current Spec
• Intel Core i5 2500k @ 4.3ghz (Socket 1155)
• ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3
• 8GB RAM
• AMD Radeon HD 6950 Unlocked to 6970
• 2x 1TB HDDs Raid 0
• 620W Enermax Liberty PSU - ELT620AWT
• 24" TFT @ 1920 X 1200

I have around £250 to spend on a card to last me a few years.

No plans to buy a high res monitor.
Case is a coolermaster Stacker so space should not be a issue.

I have been looking at ATI 380 as it is under £200 it would be ideal. Would the extra ££ for the 390 be worth it?

Thanks

Quick Query on PSU

I have 2x 6 pins PCI-e power connectors in my modular PSU.

I have a modular cable from a different PSU with 8 pins. I am asuming these modular cables are interchangable between different make PSUs?

Also would one of these Akasa PCI-E to PCI-E 2.0 Adapter will be ok to use to convert the 6 pin to a second 8 pin?

Thanks

Ha, I swaped one of the PCI-e 6 pin cables for the 6+2 cable i had from a different PSU and its works nothing has gone bang.

Im ready to buy a 390 but im stuck on what one.

Is the MSI card worth the extra over the others?

Been looking at the Powercolor as its much cheaper and OCUK deal with warranty.

Please help me make up my mind.

Thanks
