So I plan on ordering a 390, and want to have a really good cooler on it. I don't want to liquid cool it. I've been looking at the PCS+ cooler? Are there any better ones, and if so, list a few. 

Thanks

Basically this. Anything from Sapphire and I'm told MSI is a safe bet too

MSI looks better and is shorter - fits in more cases, I would prefer this one, however Sapphire is also very good.

The cheapest one

Not really, apparently the Gigabyte ones are crappy and have locked voltage for some reason

As what @TheRandomness said just seconds before me.

Not necessarily, If the cheapest just so happens to be a Gigabyte 390 ...

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Either Sapphire or XFX. And don't touch Gigabyt'es high end cards with a 10foot barge pole, the coolers suck and as mentioned they are voltage locked (all of Gigabyte's cards are built to be as cheap as possible).

Everything from gigabyte is like that.

I know. I've got their Rev 2.0 GTX 650ti OC 2GB (luckily its fans never need to go above idle to keep it cool at load even when overclocked)and GTX 970 G1 Gaming. And then there is this:

"cheap" card, shitty fan motors.

Their mobos are even worse.

 Lets not even talk about the customer support..
