I am officially stuck.

[Chewique]

Well, I am 1 13 year old PC gamer. I am looking to build my own pc in February and I'm thinking what GPU to get. I know that the AMD line (300 series) is better than nvdia's 900 series for gaming but i also do a bit of graphic design. 

I want to play games such as:

Minecraft (with shaders)

JustCause 3

CSGO

GTA V 

and a few more.

I have about $450 to spend on my GPU. 

It will be hooked up to 2 1080p monitors.

My other specs are:

I5 4690k

EVGA 650W PSU

8GB 1666 ram

msi gaming mobo

[The Official Czex]

A 390 or 390X will suffice.

build? EDIT:if u like physx go for a GTX 980/70, but I would reccomend 390 (I have it) and it has 8gig of vram (not important but good)

The AMD 390x is as good as it gets at the 400-450USD price range. If you want to save 100-150USD you can go for a 390, which performs about 85-90% that of the 390x.

VRam is important.

[Admiral Naismith]

Go AMD unless you want something specific from Nvidia, like PhysX.

Try to get a 980 or 980 Ti, though the 970 isn't that bad IF you want to go Nvidia.

 

Otherwise 390/390X all the way.

I might sound dumb but, Whats physX

VRam is important.

I meant to say not critically important (from what ppl on this fourms sayed to me) and most games dont use 8gig on 1080p, thanks for repairing me

Its some pyhisics engine. You can use it on AMD but it will cut out a few frames.

So, i like to boast about FPS I like to be like "1v1 me ladz, 800 quantillion FPS in club penguin" (you get what i mean) So, gtx 970, AMD 390 or AMD 390x

It's practically dead, in fact, it was never really alive.

Of the 5 games that has it in 2015, 2 of them utilize  the CPU to use it. So only 3 games rely on an Nvidia GPU to use PhysX.
