You can find used GTX 980's on eBay, right now, in this range.... including Asus' Strix 980, EVGA's SC w/ ACX 2.0 980, & MSI's GAMING 4G GTX 980s. I even see a Gigabyte G1 Windforce 980 - that sold for $386.00 on 12/31/2015

I've got a GTX 980 for sale here for $340 shipped, if you are in the continental U.S.

Definitely the R9 390X. I'm an Nvidia owner and would recommend it over even a 980 which is more expensive yet they trade blows with each other in various games (even though the 980 has 4GB of VRAM to the 390x's 8GB), so there you go. The 390x does use a lot more power than a 980 though, and the 980 is an excellent overclocker which can push it above a 390x, so you have to factor that in as well.
