whats a card that is a upgrade from a 390 but is not too much money. id like to spend as little as I can. AMD or Nvidia. I have a free sync monitor but I don't really care.

 

or do I just buy a new 390? my 390 has issues so I need a new card. m

What's your psu wattage? rx580s are pretty reasonable. Depends on your budget though.

VEGA 56 is a decent upgrade from the 390, and lets you have freesync.

PSU is 520W but it has been running my system for 3 years so it seems to be enough for my system. 

im fine with spending like $250, I wanted the 1070 or 1070 TI but thats way to much money to spend for me on a computer component right now

so do i get a new 390 (well a used one but new to me for around $100-$150) or do I get a 1060 6bg for around $250

with that difference 390 definitely. it's almost as fast and has more vram.
