So I was wondering what Graphics Card should I get for around 350 on Amazon? I was thinking of getting this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZXHL5FE?tag=pcpapi-20&pldnSite=1 but I don't know about it. Here is my build:

Either the 970 or the 390. Pick your poison ;)

This either is fine. They are pretty much tied

An r9 390x is showing the same performance as a GTX 980 in the first DX12 tests, so it does prove to be really promising in the future. The R9 390 is only a little slower. It's also slightly better in performance than a GTX 970 in current games, but requires a little more watts from your power supply.

So would this version of the 390 be good? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZGL8CYY?tag=pcpapi-20&pldnSite=1

If you already have that 600W EVGA power supply get a Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970. If you don't, get a better PSU (like an XFX 650W) and then it's Sapphire Nitro R9 390 or MSI Gaming R9 390 all the way.

Why should I get that 970?

It's widely considered the best overclocking 970.

That is a good card too but it does seem more pricey...

But its EVGA, FTW+ and acx 2.0+

Nvidia drivers are better and its a great overclocking using Maxwell  witch means lower heat and power usage

How exactly are nvidia drivers better? 

 

Anyway, get the Sapphire Nitro R9 390. It's has overall better performance, more than enough VRAM and the Sapphire cooler is doing a fantastic job in keeping the card both cool and quiet.

From salty to bath salty in 2.9 seconds

Drivers? No. Heat and power usage? Yes.

 

But its EVGA, FTW+ and acx 2.0+

 

Its not the best 970 yet its still more pricey...
