I agree. A few days ago I scored a MSI 290 Gaming for 190 shipped with original box, accessories, and proof of purchase so I can RMA if need be.

one of these + a G10 and a cheap liquid cooler wouldn't be bad.

Remember that card I showed you guys that was $240 and was this specific model?

Welp, it has a nice MIR.

It went down again it's now 219 normally and 199 with MIR + shipping

God damn I got mine for $170 used. Mine is liquid cooled but I need to sell it so I can get an air cooled card again, it doesn't fit in my case very well despite how cool it runs.

Damn.  I could Crossfire my son's PowerColor 290 with this.  

 

They would probably demolish my 980ti that's being delivered on ThursYay. 

 

An 850w PSU would probably be a bit edgy, though.

Nah, an 850 watt PSU would tame a 2x290 setup

I was curious a few days ago and I popped it into PCPP.  If I remember right, it was something like 795 watts.  A bit close.. but ya... possible I guess.

Tattoo first.  You'll just keep putting it off otherwise.  

 

Trust me.  My shoulder isn't finished.

It would be cheaper just to buy a 390 though.
