MSI R9 390

[Pirow]

Hi guys just wondering if its worth getting a msi r9 390. Is it good? Should i buy somehting else instead?

My cpu is an Intel I5 4570 3.2GHz LGA 1150, will it be capable of holding that?

Cheers!

 

EDIT: Im asking this cuse its really cheap... So whats the catch here ;D????

The Sapphire Nitro one is cooler and quieter but also bigger. Personally, I'd go with Sapphire but if that's not an option, MSI is great

Yes the MSI r9 390 is great, and the processes can handle it

Your CPU is great, don't worry. As for PSU, 500W is more than enough, as long as the PSU is good.

with a good 500W yes. Worth? Depends, at stock it can already run 1080p ultra easily

For the PSU, I'd suggest a SeaSonic unit such as the M12II EVO 520W or S12G 550W

if you want to oc, try for a 600-650w psu instead. overclocking does increase power consumption, and while a 500-550w can do the job, its better for you to have some extra left over power just in case.

@byalexandr OCed his 290 on a 450W. He will be fine
