So I've been looking up at what GPU's are capable at running the latest games at high settings, 1080p with a smooth FPS.. I see the R9 390 come up often, as well as he R9 380.
Here's my problem..
I'll have £430 budget by Tuesday.
My current system:
A6-6400k APU
RMX gold 80+ 650W PSU
F2A68HM-HD micro motherboard
Vantage CiT ATX mid tower
8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
1080p 23.5" 60ghz
I've been told that I'll need a new motherboard and CPU to prevent bottlenecking whatever GPU I hopefully end up getting.
Now I don't know if I should be looking for cheap Motherboard and CPU so I can still afford an R9 390... The cheapest 390 I found was £255. I did the measurements, it will fit in my case, just barely... which really worries me.
On the other hand, should I save myself £100 for better motherboard/CPU and get the 380? I just need some advice.. I was meant to get this stuff at Christmas, but I just couldn't decide. Now I've soon got money again.
I've seen jayztwocents do benchmarks of 380 vs 380x vs 390. And to be honest, I've not played a game at 60FPS before (unless ps4 is 60? It seems smooth).. In the benchmarks, the 380 wasn't showing that high of FPS, I don't know how much I'll be missing out going with 380.
Just to make my questions clear:
Is there any possible good outcome of me enjoying good graphics, with my budget and my current system?
For my goals, should I be looking towards 380 or 390?
Should I be worried about the GPU being a tight fit in my case?
Note*: I don't mind either Intel / AMD when switching motherboard.
Advice is appreciated. Thank you.
