I'm looking for a good gpu in the $150 to $210 range and I came across the Powercolor R9 380 for $170. It only had one review of 5 stars on pcpartpicker and no reviews on Newegg and Amazon. Any idea of how this card is? Build quality or performance? If you have any gpu suggestions do tell me. Thanks.

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

It might be good but before you buy it watch some videos and compare the card to others.

I was going to get one but then i got a sweet deal on a 980($300) but i think you should get it it is the shortest 380 with 4gb of ram as of this post so case compatibility show be fine. Powercolor use to have loud fans but they put there dual blade should be quiet but there coolers were always good just the fans but those look much improved. it looks like white out build to me so i would find something white if coronation is important.
