I plan on buying the goods in the upcoming computer fair near the end of this month.
Is this a good gaming pc setup?
Would you change anything? Why?
Which GPU is better, ASUS R9 390X DC3OC Or, MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6G ?
Almost on every forum people are complaining about AMD's driver issues. BSODs, frequent freezes, pc hangs, extreme heat when gpu is stressed, etc. Whereas, Nvidia are having little or none of these problems.
Actually, even with a new PSU and the 390X my total cost is lower than if I would get the GTX 980 Ti.
So which of these two GPUs would you suggest me to buy taking into account the factors I am considering are future proofing, AMD/Nvidia driver support, and electricity bills??
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
