Thanks I was able to sell it at 1400. Ah who cares. Thanks man

Do not get one of those 7.1 Surround sound audio headphones. They are not worth the money. Actually don't get any of those gaming headphones. I recommend getting a separate microphone for the video chat. I recommend getting a high quality headphones from Sennheisier, Shure, Audio Technica, or other audio brands. Still thought I use a earbud for gaming like the Shure SE215 because they give you pretty good isolation. Also headphones hurt after few hours of gaming but I don't know how intensive you play. If I were you I would listen to the guy at the top and get those headphones. Peace

The difference in picture quality is low, but the difference in pixels is high. 1440p has ~80% more pixels than 1080p. That doesn't translate 1:1 to performance, but it gives you an idea of how difficult is it to drive. To get a good experience at 1440 I'd say get at least a 390X or a 980. If you want to crush it get a 980ti and call it a day, or wait for the next gen cards. There will likely be a better solution at a lower price point.

What game are you thinking of that requires more than 4GB of VRAM?
 
The only game I can think of that I'm testing with is Grand Theft Auto V, and that is only at 4k with all the detail turned up, it pushes the 6GB limit of the GTX 980 TI in my main machine.  (but that is REALLY with everything at ultra, pull it back to high on most items, medium on a few and it drops back under 4GB easily enough)
 
Keep in mind, the vast majority of gamer cards have 2GB, game companies have to sell to a wide audience, so frankly everything will run at some setting on a 2GB card (abit not at 4k).
 
DirectX 12 may well make a difference, when games get around to supporting it.  Keep in mind that almost nothing does today and won't for awhile, since more people are on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, than on Windows 10, and you must have Windows 10 to use DirectX 12.  So until most gamers are using Windows 10, DX12 will not be required for anything, the game company would be cutting themselves off from everyone who hasn't upgraded yet.  DX12 might be optional for awhile at first, but each game has to support it specifically, it isn't automatic.
 
The R9 390x is slightly faster than the R9 390, which is slightly faster than the R9 390.  MAYBE it is 10% faster...  in some games...  a few might actually be slower, depends on who paid to get optimized drivers.
 
It really is a pointless upgrade, in my humble opinion, coming from the very nice GTX 970 that you have.

Thanks so much. I think i will stick with my graphics card. 

As stated above, right click on the drive and choose Format.
If your aim is to reuse it yourself, this is completely fine.
 
If you want to give it away and are concerned about someone being able to access the data, DBAN is where it's at.
Or, you know, physical destructive force.

You can just right click on the drive you want to erase and use "Format..." It will delete everything on this partition.
