Choosing a new GPU

[griffin931]

Hello, my old GPU crapped out a while back so I'm looking for a new one.

 

I pretty much decided on R9 390 but I have concerns over my PSU, it's a bit older Fortron/FSP Black Power 650W power supply. Also I have no idea which one to pick. I have heard that Sapphire 390 Nitro is pretty much the one to grab but it'll be reaally tight fit with it's 30,8 cm. 

 

Also here's my system specs

 

CPU: intel 2500k

MB: gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3

RAM: 8gb DDR3 

PSU: fortron black power 650W

 

I haven't ruled out 970 yet but it's exactly the same price as 390 so..

Right that PSU is a little meh. It would most likely be fine on the 390 until you could get a new one. If you worry about it thought the 970 isn't that far away from the 390 performance wise and the 390 struggles to use 8gb ram anyway. 

 

Edit:Get the sapphire 390.

I would say go for the Sapphire 390, the PSU should be able to handle it, and if you've pretty much made your mind up, then go for it. They aren't too different as far as performance goes, and the Sapphire is cheaper (at least it is here down under).

That PSU sounds really sketchy. Personally I think you should spend a little extra if possible and pick up a high quality one alongside your new card.

Is it that bad? I always thought that FSP is one of the better brands if not one of the best.
