You got an i5 instead of an i7, anything above a 960 would be bottlenecked. You fucked yourself before you even asked the question.

Ideally 200-250, but I'll spring for 300 if it's anywhere near as reliable as the OP card has been.

I have a Sapphire R9 380 4gb and I can vouch for it, in every way. It's a great card.
Someone mentioned the 290, it can also be a good choice, since it fits the budget too.
This, without streching to 300$.
I don't know if you can get a 390 for 300$, but it'd be a safer purchase in terms of long term performance, for sure.

Rule of thumb.

High end Go Nvidia

980 > Fury and 390x (Fury and 390x can't OC worth shit, 390x is inferior and the Fury is slightly more powerful but the OC capabilities of a 980 essentially makes it a 980ti with lower energy consumption, heat and noise than the AMD equivalents)
980ti > Fury X

Everything else on the poorfag side you're better off with AMDshit but then again you'll be no better than a consolefag in the process

>>321451478
>>321451687

Don't listen to these retards. i7's hold literally no advantages in gaming, a fucking 2500k would be sufficient if you OC'd it, a stock 4690K with no OC is more than enough, OC'ing it is only a novelty

if you dont have a reference cooled model youre really missing out on easy extra frames in games.
Get the OC tools of your card brand and bump it a bit on stock voltage until you get artifacts/freezes on 3dmark then dial it back to a stable number.

dude, if you want to say that i am an Nvidia shill then I am not, i have had two AMD cards that served me really well, i upgraded to a GTX970 since i found a very good deal on it but i will never pay the full price for it. That is to make things clear. And two, your argument is invalid, we can't say shit about DX12 until games actually start using it which won't happen soon.

R9 390 is about 300.

Will max anything pretty well at 1080 60fps. Very good card and will stay such for a far while even as resolutions begin to creep past 1080.

380 isn't bad either if you want to stay under budget.

390 beats out 970 by a small bit and I typically find 390s cheaper.

Don't bother with the x versions of the 390. The performance jump is pretty small between the 390 and 390x and the price jump is great.
