Any ways to optimise this build + GPU help

[Lekingmoonya]

This is my plan for my build but are there any ways to make it better/cheaper
https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
Some of the parts may seem strange
Case: Why the 760T Black? The white one is 20$ cheaper! ---> I live in Japan so the black one is cheaper here.
etc.
Trying to decide what GPU to buy is frustrating. I prefer AMD cards and am torn between the 290 and the 390. Both are within my budget. Please help!!

You need to use the permalink - LH side at the top. the URL just says/partslist - which is anything.

Otherwise, click on T and copy the build and post it here.

No, my GPU is the problem. AMD R9 390 or 290. Thats why this post is in GPU.

 

[i7Baby]

What's the problem with your GPU?

 

[Lekingmoonya]

Ether the 390 or the 290

 

[i7Baby]

What about them?

 

[Lekingmoonya]

Having trouble deciding which.
290_ Cheaper, less powerful
390_More expensive, more powerful, 3xDP

 

[pete_101]

Unless you find a very cheap 290 or 290X, then get the 390. It's more powerful, uses less power and has double the v-ram of the 290 and as the drivers improve the gpu has the potential to become better yet. However if you find a cheap 290X, then it's still a good gpu.
