I'm going to be doing a second build eventually for my living room. Main usage for home theatre/gaming. I don't want to spend as much as the 980 Ti I have in my desktop. I want to give Team Red a try this round. :)

Basically anything between $250-300 +/- 20. Something that'll last me for quite a while and give decent gaming performance.

Thanks guys!

P.S. only NEW GPU please. I only buy new. :)

That should be about R9 290 or maybe even R9 290X. Or R9 390

Might want to get a good cooler if it's in your home theatre

It's impossible to water cool a GPU for cheaper than what I posted :P

Yeah I was looking at maybe either the 390 or 290x. I like the idea of the newer 390 series so I may go with that. Although I saw the Sapphire Tri-X for $340. I could possibly squeeze a little more cash if that's a good brand. :)

Edit: its custom. :(

Tri-X is reference board, Vapor-X is custom.
