I saw a second hand ati r9 390 for £95 with warranty, it is a reputable store, but is it actually a good/worth my money. I'm on intel igpu at the moment so anything is an upgrade. 

its an old card so they probably just wanna get rid of it, if it indeed is a reputable store like u say then go for it

Seems fairly reasonable seeing as it's used, but if you're suspicious then simply avoid it.

a r9 390 has similar performance to a rx570, while being much hotter, louder and consuming double the power. In addition, it won't benefit from the latest amd software goodies like radeon image sharpening.

you can find a used rx570 for less than £95, i'd say there is absolutely no point in getting the r9 390.
