Shuld i go with a r9 390 insted of Gtx 970 it is the same price and wich card will i get most performance?

Thankful for help!

R9 390 is better.

Go with a cheaper PSU, something like EVGA G2/B2 or anything XFX or Seasonic.

TBH a $170 PSU is just a waste of money.

if you really need that much storage go for 2 1TB blues, drives over 2TB have a much higher fail rate and greens are poop

i would consider this instead. the r9 390 > 970. you don't need the pro gaming as you're not going sli. your psu was too expensive. this is a better overall build imo. you also needed a better cpu cooling solution for a solid overclock. i have the r4 case and it's great. no need to get the r5. if you want to spend a bit more, get the r9 390x from msi. get the msi r9 cards as they are not voltage locked.

XFX uses Seasonic which makes fairly high quality PSUs.

It's $35 after the MIR, you can't say that isn't a good deal.

 

that xfx is a great psu. made by seasonic. good buy.

edit:

 

only problem with that psu is that it's not even semi modular
