@arugal102 I don't see why recommending a superior card is "shitposting". What CPU do you currently have?

Intel Core i7-5820K (4.4 GHz) | Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB  | 2x 360mm Custom Loop (Noctua iPPC) | ASRock X99 Extreme6 | Samsung 840 EVO 250GB | Fractal Design Define S | Corsair HX750 | Windows 10 | Corsair M65 RGB PRO | Corsair K70 RGB LUX (CherryMX Brown) | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro & Creative Sound Blaster Z | Nexus 6P (32GB Aluminium) | Check out my setup: Project Kalte Here!

i5 3340

I think you'll benefit much more by upgrading your GPU, assuming your general usage is gaming.

In all seriousness, the 390 is by far the better card. Unless you need CUDA or Nvidia-only features or have a super low-power PSU, the 390 will win every time.
