So, here's the deal: I'm torn between picking up an r9 390 or a GTX 970. I’ll be pairing it with either an Intel Core i5 4690k or a 6600k. I haven't totally nailed down my budget yet, but honestly, it doesn't even matter much since the prices for these cards are basically neck and neck right now.
So, I’m deep in the rabbit hole of picking out a new rig for some serious gaming, and honestly, I’m stuck in a total deadlock over which CPU and GPU to grab.
The smaller headache is deciding between an i5 4690k or an i5 6600k, but I’ll probably just make a call on that once my budget finally stops being such a moving target. The real nightmare, though, is choosing between the Radeon r9 390 and the Nvidia gtx 970. I'm sitting here wondering if it’s actually worth pulling the trigger on the gtx 970—even if it looks weaker on paper—just to get my hands on stuff like PhysX, MFAA, and all those other extra bells and whistles.
