390 with apu

[domini123]

I'm going to buy r9 390 that's decided but I don't know which 1 gigabyte or msi and I wanna know if I can run crossfire with apu and which apu cuz I'm getting a new processor and motherboard 2 so please help.

which 390?

which and apu so it runs in crossfire?

And maybe which motherboard?

Are you talking AMD APU? Not worth it.

Just go for a normal CPU, like a Intel Core i5 4460 and a motherboard. The APU would bottleneck the R9 390

AMD APU? The APU and R9 390 isn't a good pair, the bottleneck is real.

You can get i5 instead like @Minibois said, 4460 is enough.

[dragoon20005]

if you are going for APU

 

just grab the A10-7870K and thats it

 

 

 

if you want to run with a GPU

 

go for a full CPU instead

[Guest]

go with a Intel i5

And preferably a Asus motherboard as the quality is really good. Maybe something like the Asus z97-A.

 

Which 390? Not that impotent but maybe Asus DirectCUII, Gigabyte Gaming G1  are awesome, MSI Gaming, Sapphire or XFX are all good choices.

I have gigabyte gaming 5 atx motherboard and r9 390 and I need to know which cpu should I go with for around 320€?

[dragoon20005]

MSI Gaming is a beast of a GPU so far

 

also Gigabyte G1 Gaming looks nice 

 

still avoid the Asus range as their cooler is still not touching the VRAMs and VRMs

Hmm? Is that only on the 390 or for every DC2 card? Asking since my VRMs are usually pretty cool (2-3 degrees C lower than core)

its their AMD range

 

coz they just slapped the Geforce cooler on the AMD cards

Really? I looked through all their 700 series and 900 series card and didn't find one card that has the Cooltech fan on AMD GPUs. While that's not what is being talked about directly, I feel it's not just a copy pasta situation.

It's not exact copy paste, but I believe they took the base of the 780 cooler and did little to adapt it for AMD cards.

Go for the i5-4690K. More then enough for games and it's able to overclock.

[domini123]

Thanks all you guys but can r9 390 work with psu with 650w 80+bronze?

It will be fine and go with i5 4690K if you can afford it.

[domini123]

I can and are u sure it won't bottleneck the card and can I daisy chain power conectors with my 650w psu

btw I'm going with gigabyte cuz of conectivity and it's colors
