I am looking to buy either a 390 or 390x my current rig is...

Motherboard- Asus M5A97r2.0
Processor- AMD 8350
Power Supply- Antec 750w 80+ Bronze
Monitor- 1080p 60hz

I think that's all the info you need, thank you for your time. :)

You would need to change to an Intel i7 or an overclocked i5 to match the 390 cards without a CPU bottleneck. The AMD chips will have more frame rate fluctuations and stutter at high settings. Depending on what you already have, those cards may not be worth it as an upgrade.

Right, so depending on the existing video card, an upgrade may just be wasted since the CPU won't allow the system to perform to the 390 capabilities. If going from say an old 7770, yes worth it, from a card a notch or even two bellow the 390, likely not.
