Help choosing a Graphics Card

[TaddMSI]

Hello guys! I just started building my gaming rig. I got everything I need, but one thing is missing. The graphics card. 

 

I let you guys know the specs of my gaming rig:

-I5 6600k

-MSI z170 krait gaming

-8gb kingston hyperx DDR4 memory

-Kingston HyperX 120gb SSD

-Corsair 780T case

-EVGA G2 650w 80+ gold PSU

 

 

Now... the problem is which graphics card should I get? I got around $350 USD (US dollars) in order to buy one. 

Right now I am among either:

 

-MSI GTX 970 

or 

-MSI R9 390

 

 

So I would really appreciate if you guys can help me out in this one. I am looking foward in plain gaming at 1080p resolution and 60hz 

Thanks in advance for all the help!

390, not only is it a better card, but AMD also isn't constantly making decisions against the interests of their customers.

R9 390.

GTX 970

970 do you have a black and red theme in this build? if you don't i might suggest you go with a EVGA card if you dont since there all blck/grey and fit better with themed rigs that dont have red in

I dont really mind about the color. I want performance above color matching

Get the 970, delivers a bit more FPS and it is a bit cheaper on newegg

I'd say the 970, just about.
