I need a graphic card below 550$ which can last me 4-5 years decent gaming,a very good cooling(cause i don't want a fried graphic card).
My considerations are:
r9 390x2
and the fury x
I just want to play games at least 50-60 fps for 5 years
Thanks for all the recommendations.

Is the R9390X2 available, yet? Or are you talking about 2 X R9390 in crossfire

I think that even a single R9 390 will last you for years to come, in my opinion the R9 300 series from AMD is very good GPU's

I would recommend a GTX 970 instead of R9 390. They should be equal in performance in average games. But 970 comes with a lower power consumption, if that is important for you. They should both be fine for 1080p 60Hz for some time. Never games like The Division and Rise of the Tomb Raider runs at 1080p / 60FPS on high settings.

Forget future proofing. Cards and requirements rapidly change.
Get whats most suitable now and later flog it on ebay and update with something newer & faster.

Its like being back in 2000 & wanting to future proof your mobile phone. Wrong logic.

At $375 i think the r9 390x is a very good purchase. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202185&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

The fury x is still over $600

Graphics cards don't stay relevant for 5 - 6 years. Things move too fast. What will you do if VR become 'the thing' or 4K? 1080p, 60Hz, single monitor will be done by a 970 or 980 forever, just like cards from a couple of generations ago still do 720p well. The trouble is, who wants to game at that resolution today? (plenty HAVE to, but they would rather not)

Agree with Donkey Oatie and fredfinks.
If you had bought a GTX 480 5 years ago, you would now have similar performance to a new GTX950.
A wise person would have shunned the 480 in favour of the gtx470, kept the $$$$ saved, and used the money to replace it with a GTX 670 or gtx 770 when an upgrade was required.
my son's gaming PC is a phenom ii quad core at 4GHz. It is 7 years old, and is on its THIRD graphics card.
