Looks good to me... (y)

[don_svetlio]

get rid of that keyboard and spend the money on a Fury

[Oshino Shinobu]

Everything looks good. The R9 390 will offer more performance for the price, and I personally wouldn't go for that keyboard, but nothing bad in there, really.

@don_svetlio we think the same #nohomo
 

[Oberon.Smite]

Everything but the GPU looks good. I'd go with a 390 because it costs the same, sometimes even less for better performance. Not 100% sure about PSU but I'll let the PSU guys handle that.

Looks good. A 390 from MSI or Sapphire would be better though, but good nonetheless.

ALL OF THE HOMO! (get the reference? )

As for the PSU, anything from XFX is great. They are made exclusively by Seasonic

[Oberon.Smite]

I dont like amd that much

Why?

[DaltonM]

You don't need such a beefy cooler. You'll breeze through any game with that CPU at stock speeds. I would get a $20 cooler (hyper 212 evo) and maybe hold off on the HDD to get a better GPU. 250 gigs will be fine until you can save up that $50. 

[Morgan MLGman]

It has nothing to do with 'liking', the 390 is better choice within that price range. However I fit an R9 Fury within the budget, it's faster than even a GTX 980. Look at what I linked.

Yu Gi Oh abridged, yep!

[LLamaGames]

Why?

Manily because they run hotter and the r9 390 doesn't run well on fallout 4 which i'm going to be playing playing a lot of. I must agree that amd did win this time against nvidia

Not to sound too picky, but how come?

 

Nevermind, you just answered it...

AMD cards don't really run THAT hot, though.

Also, driver optimisation. It'll be some time before Bethesda decide that people running AMD might want to play their games at settings that aren't arse and poo.

But if i did go amd which would be better the R9 390(X) or the R9 Fury

I have had friends that went with amd and had driver issues and poor support. But why do people not like this

Coil whine, loud, awful customer support, 30% slower than a Fury.

AMD's drivers have vastly improved since the 2009-2010 horror stories. I've not had issues for the past 4 years - the key thing a lot of people forget is using DDU to remove previous Nvidia drivers when installing a new GPU which results in issues. Currently, you should have no issues with the latest AMD driver. I cannot say the same for Nvidia or at least their mobile drivers as I and many other users are forced to use older drivers since newer ones fail to work.

So now should i go with the fury or the 390(X)

390 is 5% faster than a 970

390X is 15% faster 970

980 is 20% faster than a 970

Fury is 30% faster than a 970

Alright i guess the fury it is then
