Yeah the R9 390x is the best price per performance for gaming. If your going to do rendering or any thing like that I'd say go with the 970. They also have great SLI scaling, and less power consumption so you shouldn't have to worry about upgrading your PSU if you go that route. :)

I would go for the 970, 390, or the 980 ti if you can afford it I would skip over the 980, I personally think the 980 has become very poor value the price to performance ratio just does not make sense. As for 390 vs 970 thats debatable but if I was looking for a card in that price range I would go for the 390 they trade blows at 1080p but the 390 generally performs better at 1440p.

That power supply is probably ok for 2x 390x, assuming you don't have one of those 225W TDP AMD CPUS. If you have a more normal 95W TDP CPU, like a i5 or i7 an 850W power supply should be sufficient.

The Gigabyte is supposed to be one of the best. I run EVGA though personally. I've always had great experiences with their products.
