which card is the one to take?

[PandaCopyRight]

As SteveGrabowski0 said, I would go as powerful as you can with a GPU. 290/x would be the best  price to performance. If you really don't have the choice to move into the that range, I would say grab the 280x, as it is a more powerful card than the 380 and 960. The 280/x and 290/x both have basic support of DX12. http://www.amd.com/en-us/press-releases/Pages/amd-demonstrates-2014mar20.aspx

the 280x seems to be a bit too much for me i cant seem to find one that in the budget from a reputable retailer

I know it may seem sketch, but you should check out each partner's warranty. Find one that is transferable in your country (uses S/N instead of original purchaser's receipt), and grab one on the used market. For the US, the best on AMD side would be to grab a MSI card because they have a 3 year warranty that follows the card and not the original owner.

Here there Panda! Remember me? Lol.

 

Personally I'd go with the 380 if you have plans to get an i5 shortly, but if you really want to take advantage of Shadowplay and other Nvidia features, I'd really try and save for a 970.

I wouldn't get a 960 but if you can't stretch the budget and get a 970 instead I'll more willing to pick it over the 380.

 

380 for the win

 

I recommend R9 380 as it more "fair" than 960.

380 has more texture mapping units, higher floating point perf  and more shading units.

Also, according to the rumors, 380 should perform really well with DX12 

 

Oppa 380 Style 

 

380 for sure

 

380, unless the 960 is 15+ dollars cheaper.

Also I'd really heavily recommend getting away from that cpu. More and more New games fail to support dual core cpus not to mention that unless overclocked a Pentium can bottleneck even a 750ti at low enough settings.

 

380 or 390

so i have come to the conclusion that everybooty wants me to get a R9 380 or a R9 280x if i can find one
