Keep the 390. 

 

BUT

 

It seems EVGA and Gigabyte have the best Nvidia GPUs, this is just based off of forum posts I've read though.

CPU: I7 4790k  CPU Cooler: NH-D15 GPU: MSI 970 4gb   Motherboard: z97 Gaming 5 PSU: Corsair hx850   Ram: Corsair Vengeance 8 gb  SSD: Samsung 850 Evo  Case: Air 540

G1 is best overclocking 970 but ffs keep the 390! lol

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

So your are downgrading your pc rather than upgrading your pc.

That would be considered a side grade if he planned to oc, but yeah there isn't a point at all

if you are going with an Nvidia card, EVGA seem to get the most thumbs up at the moment.

i5 4670k @4.2ghz / MSI Z87 G45 / EVGA GTX 960 SSC / Samsung  840 EVo SSD / WD Green 1tb HDD / Corsair H75 / Corsair Obsidian 750D / Corsair CS750M
