I cant choose between these two cards.

MSI R9 390 and Saphire R9 390 Nitro

I will not be over clocking them.

They will be being used for gaming.

What are your opinions on the two? 

Thanks

I would go with the msi because it is smaller and it also has three modes (gaming, oc and silent). Coreclock is 20mhz higher which isnt a whole lot but its still better. Dont always buy stuff off amazon because other sites could be cheaper for example newegg has a deal where you get a free game plus its cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127874&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-VigLink-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=6160237&SID=ilxz98a6hn0115i000053 If you wanna find the cheapest price for a certain item use pcpartpicker.com
