I have $200, I have a Sapphire R7 265. I play Bo3 and GTAV and I might get battlefront soon.  Should I keep saving up and get a 390 or buy a gpu now?

How long will it take you to save another 100$ is the question, and if it is a long time will the wait be worth it?

Depends on how long it would take, to save up for an R9 390.

Follow your threads mate.

how long would it take for you to save up for a 390? That is a great card and will run those games on ultra 60 FPS (GTA V might drop 40-60FPS)

 

for $200 you could look into a R9 380 or R9 380X though.

An R9 380 will be a decent upgrade from your R7 265 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131673&cm_re=r9_380-_-14-131-673-_-Product

Of course, it's better if you are willing to save another 100 bucks for a 390.
