So like the title says should I go with the GTX 970 FTW or R9 390 or 390X?
I am planning a build and will use an i7 6700 8M.
Will an AMD GPU work well with an intel CPU? Some people are saying I will have issues.
Considering that the GTX 970 is advertised as having 4 GB of VRAM but really only has 3.5 I think the R9 would be better choice as far as value goes.
Also what kind of PSU should I get?
I am planning to use a 650 watt EVGA PSU 80+ gold rated.
This one.

SSD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820156066 (maybe it will be in the build or some time in the future)
Also I have a cheap-o $22 Samsung optical drive I will install. My windows 10 is OEM and on a DVD. I will get the full retail version later on.
That is my build based on my selection of parts from Newegg.
