I have decided to get a r9 390 but i want to know what the best model is. ALSO if there are any good deals for r9 390s and gtx 970s going around (a gtx 970 sold out @ $265 earlier).

I have to stick to amazon because i have a giftcard there :i

Sapphire Nitro

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

Sapphire is very, very good, but so is the MSI Gaming one, I'd prefer the MSI cause it looks better and MSI has great customer support.
If the Sapphire is even 10$ more than the MSI then it's not worth getting. If they cost around the same, it's up to your personal preference cause both are great.

Check if you can find a R9 290X for around the same price point, preferably Sapphire Tri-X, Vapor-X or PowerColor. (3-fan cooler style versions should be the best) cause the 290X is more powerful than the 390.

MSI or Sapphire are the best.

The sapphire is at 345 and msi at 315. Which one would i get power out of? Note there is a 15 dollar rebate for the sapphire and i like their tri cooler design.

The MSI if the difference is that much. It's a great overclocker, the cooler is great and it looks dope.

Can't go wrong either way. Both coolers rock. The problem won't be cooling necessarily until you go above +200mv on the core. Definitely can squeeze 1200 on the core out of them if the temps are right. Choose one that matches your build.
