Hi guys , i did upgrade my processor to an i7 4790k and now i just need to upgrade my PSU (Right now i have Zalman ZM-500LX) and my good 2yr old R9 270x . My problem is at the GPU , i don't know what to buy between the GTX 970 , R9 390 and R9 390x . Wish i could afford a GTX 980 but unfortunately i can't. Keep in mind that i do Gaming videos on youtube .

R9 390 and GTX 970 are both excellent cards, and almost overkill for 1080p gaming.
The 390x is not worth the added cost imho, especially for 1080p gaming/recording.

Well the most powerful one out of that bunch is the 390x but its up to you whether the extra performance over the 390 is worth the price premium. I personally have a 390 and couldn't be happier. In general a 390 is considered more powerful than a 970 but that will greatly depend on the types of games you'd like to play-if you're genre of choice includes a lot of "gameworks" titles then a 970 would be a wiser choice. Also what kind of resolution are you hoping to play at?
