What he said, best thing is to upgrade your system all together man. It is time. What are you looking for in a graphics card? Are you just replacing your current one? What are the specs of your current card?

Right, but to say you will be fine with 500W PSU is a ludicrous thing to advise someone. His system will be pulling like ~470W and who wants to be that closed to their max wattage. This means the PSU will be running at near 100% load almost all the time.

970 and 390 are in the same class, the only time you will get an edge from 970 is when playing games memory hungry like GTA V. So your card will perform at 1080p at 60FPS, but it does not mean it will stay there during your whole gaming experience. Have you benchmark it with Heaven? Core Temp...

You are not going to. R9 390 will not give you a steady 60fps on Metal Gear Solid 5, but it will average that none the less. But with RO2 and COH? Hmm, that is interesting. What's with the mismatch RAM? If I was you, I would get rid of the 4GB pair, 8GB of the same freq, will perform better...

73C is not overheating, could run cooler for sure maybe, but that's not overheating. It's hard to tell without knowing your case/ventilation setup, but if you want to take over your GPU fans, use MSI afterburner.

Lucky guy!

If you are going the EVGA route got with the FTW+ he will love you for it :bounce: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U2ON9B6/ref=twister_B00OAXPYXG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 mind you that it is about $20 cheaper on Newegg. But if $350 is the max, I would pick the MSI Gaming 4G, it is also an awesome card...
