You should have made that clear in your initial post.

Will you play other games like GTA V in the future?

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Added. If you really don't want a 390 then get a 380 or 280x

Might play a little bit more demanding games. But max probably GTA V.

AMD? I know it's less powerful (compared to i5) but that allows os and bit nicer kb+mouse+headset. Little bit left for a displayport cable to get freesync working and a nice QcK pad.
