Will this GPU be fine? Compatibility..

[remyrossy]

Hey All,

Thinking about buying a new GPU and I want to know if this one will run smoothly with my current specs:

Current specs:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 Vishera 32nm TechnologY
RAM: 8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 722MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. M5A99X EVO R2.0 (Socket 942)

GPU I want:

Radeon R9 Nitro 390 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Backplate

Also have been told I should wait for the RX 480. Opinions?

All feedback would be great!

Thanks! xo

I think your CPU will bottleneck your GPU somewhat, it's not ideal.

Also what's your PSU?

RX480 seem to be a terrific bang for the buck according to leaks, but still need to wait reviews to be sure.
but even the minimum expectations should make it a better pick than 390, also it's half TDP, although i dont know if we will have high quality custom overclocking cards at release, might take few week till they show up.
