For 1080p, a 970 is the best card for the money in my opinion, and in many others' opinions. Also, your English is essentially perfect. Better than a lot of native speakers frankly, lol.

And whats about the future? Because the GTX 970 has "only" 3.5 Gigs and the R9 390 8 Gigs. And I forgot to tell the price; the 970 costs about 10-20 bucks more than the R9 390.

And thank you for the compliment :wahoo:

At 1080p, you're very unlikely to use over 2 gigs. GTA V is an exception, sometimes it can use a bit more. However, if the 390 is cheaper where you live, that might be your best bet. Here in the US they are exactly the same price. They are very comparable cards in a lot of ways, so if one is cheaper I would say go for that.
