Help picking GPU

[shuushh]

Hi,

need some help with GPU choice. My budget is 250€ (~280$) max at the moment.

I am building from scratch and have this build so far

I5 6600k

Asus Z170-P

SM951 256Gb m.2 pcie ssd

8gb ddr4 2400 cl12 (will be adding 8gb later)

700-750w PSU (leaning towards Corsair CX750W)

Random 1080p monitor, no upgrading for another 5yrs or so.

 

And now i can't decide between R9 380, 380x, GTX 970; 2Gb vs 4Gb versions. Or should save until can afford R9 390, 390x which will take another 6 months

 

Hope to get games at 1080p @ ultra if possible or the highest possible w/ descent FPS (45+?)

Get a Sapphire 380X, if it'll take you that much longer to save for a 390 it's not worth it. Though consider waiting for Polaris 10 to launch.

If you could save up another 40-ish bucks, then go with a sapphire nitro r9 390.  It will rock anything up to 4k

How about you get a 850 evo 256gb SSD instead of that NVMe m.2 drive and you should have saved just enough to be able to afford a 390 no?? (and if you can afford a 970, how can you not afford a 390?)

 

And your actual total budget?

If you can afford a 970, you can afford a 390

for now i cannot change anything because those are the parts i already own also will be reusing a case, 1tbhdd, dvdrw and some other items.

I have no total in mind but atm i have around 300-350€ (350-400 $) left and i still need GPU and PSU. As i said, with each month i could increase the current budget by 15€ (20$) w/o any sacrifice to my current spending habits Price difference between 380 and 390 in my country is 80-120€ (95-140$ or so)

The GTX 970 isn't in the same class as the R9 380, those are mismatched.  Unless you meant 960?

 

If you want to play at 1080p @ ultra in everything, you need either a R9 390 or GTX 970.
