You could wait for the 1070 to come out or AMD to announce Polaris

you can't go wrong with either the 390 or the 970 really, both are very good cards

inb4 amd/nvidia shills

Listen to Pepsi. She's very smart in this field. Nag her for PC questions.

Nvidia, with the 1070 literally within fingertips of consumers, and the 970 being out, there is literally no reason to go AMD right now other than being spiteful against Nvidia.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become Mythic..
Pepsi is ridiculous with PC shit tbh.

I'd say 970 but that's my opinion.

GTX 970. Less likely to run into compatibility problems.

Wait for the 1070.

If you can't do that, then get the r9 390. AMD drivers are completely fine and the r9 390 blows the 970 out of the water tbh

You're going to need that water when you get a house fire from using AMD.

970 is pretty good. you'll be able to run pretty much all modern games at max settings for at least a year maybe three if you're lucky. depends on what type of games you want to play though, because some games are more processor intensive than gpu intensive, so if you want truly good all around performance, get a strong processor too.
>for at least a year

That'll be more money but sure, the 1070 should be able to do that well.

This is one 'epsi-cola helped me build, minus the video card.

I'm not sure if I still need to change anything though.

Nice, I suggest you upgrade to an I5 as soon as you get the chance though.

I was thinking about that. She basically told me it wasn't THAT essential given how I intend to use the PC.

Personally I'd pass on the SSD and use that to get an i5. Good build tho.

I initially wanted something cheap for around 600. It looks like I'm pretty much going to spend double that...
