So right now I have a gtx 950 and I want to upgrade to a r9 380x used for 300 leva which is near 150 euros but I saw the gtx 1050 ti costs the same like the r9 380x but its new.Both of them are kinda the same on gaming performance on some guys higher for the 1050ti on some games lower and on some the same on average fps I saw in youtube.I would like to stream league of legends and csgo for fun.My rig is i7 4770k 8 gb ram 1tb hdd mobo h81m-s2pv 600w cooler master atx psu
 
Solution
Either would suit your needs based on the games you mentioned. The R9 380X will offer better performance, but it will also draw more power.

If it's just between these two cards, then I would go for the 1050ti. AMD tends to be pretty slow with their driver releases and so you can have some performance issues when new games launch. Plus in games with Physx and Nvidia settings, the 1050ti will perform way better.
 
I think it depends on which games you play. In some games a 380 will outperform a 1050 Ti, and that's a 380, not a 380x. Some games favor Nvidia cards though. A 290 is even faster but you need to have the power supply for the more powerful AMD cards. Your Coolermaster? Um, I'd go with the 1050 Ti.

the psu is 600w and I have 1 tb hdd intel core i7 4770k 8 gb ram 1 cpu cooling fan from noctua nf-a14 3000pwm 1 more cooling fan at the back of the case led strip 60 cm long and a mobo gigabyte h81m-s2pv. I think for the r9 290 its enough the thing I'm worried about the r9 290 is the temps cuz I saw they go up to 95 degrees and when I posted that I asked what is more worth it to upgrade from the gtx 950 so I just want an answer based to everything I said a gtx 1050 ti or r9 380x or r9 290 they are all at the same price the difference is that the 2 r9's are used and the 1050 ti is new

unless that is a V cooler master series that psu is not good enough for a 290
