An R9 390 and use the rest to do other things (>inb4 someone says CPU upgrade)

If you wanna upgrade the GPU to a 390 you'll need atleast a 650w psu, so you should purchase that first.

FX-6300 cooled by Nepton 240M | EVGA GTX 970 SuperClocked | 8GB G.Skill ValueRAM | Cooler Master 690 III | Sharkoon WMP 500 Bronze |

A 550w PSU will be fine, I crossfire a 290/390 with a 750w.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Would I be able to use a Gtx 970 ? ..

Sure, why would you want to? The 390 offers more performance so unless you can get the 970 for less than the 390 you're better off with the 390.

Oh, okay. Thank you ... By the way, if you clicked the link and looked at the build, when I set it up at Christmas and stuff would it be safe to over clock the r7 360 a bit without a cooling upgrade ?
