@SirAquos Why not get one 390 and an i5 :) 

Posted

Thinking of doing a Crossfire/SLI Build,  which card would be best for this? 

  • Radeon R9 380
  • Radeon R9 390
  • GTX 750 Ti

The cards will be paired with an AMD Athlon II X4 860k and 2x4gb of pny 2400mhz DDR3.

My hamster will kick your hamster's ass. Oh wait, it can't, because its DEAD.

390 will perform best, 380 is still good bang for buck, 750 Ti can't SLI, the 380 wont be bottlenecked terribly if you overclock the CPU.. The 390 will get bottlenecked..

Say,  an A10 7870k,  overclocked.  Would that do any better?

That's just an 860K without the iGPU, so no.

       • Pixelbook Go i5 • Pixel 4 XL •

That seems like a very weird selection, a 390 is more than double the price of a 750 Ti.

CPU: Intel i7 8700K | CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 | RAM: Kingston HyperX 2x8GB | Motherboard: Asus ROG Z370-E | GPU: MSI GTX 970 | HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB & 2TB | SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB & 970 EVO M.2 500GB | Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X | PSU: Silverstone Platinum Strider 1100W | Monitor: AOC i2367Fh | Headphones: ATH-M40X | Mic: Antlion ModMic 4 | Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB w/ MX Browns | Mouse: Logitech G502 HERO

a 750 ti and a better cpu/mobo ...

1 - 750 TI cannot SLI

2 - the CPU won't bottleneck nearly as much as you believe. Even with that PSU the 390 is still 3 times faster than a 750 TI

SLI wasn't the point of my recommendation.  The point was to get away from that cpu.  

Is there even a fm2 motherboard that supports SLI?

i5 6600k  //  16gb g.skill ddr4 3000  //  evga gtx 980

Why on earth? Do some research or get out and stop giving poor advice....

A 390 is 215% more powerful than a 750 Ti. No amount of bottlenecking will change that.
