It looks like good value for money. Some User reviews on newegg...

Coil whine seems to be an issue for some but may be fixed by reinserting card.

I'm also looking at upgrading from a 760. Have a quick read here might make you consider a R9 390 over a 970 but it's up to you: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057513288

I find this a great help when trying to find the best price for an item, it brings up the price for an item across all European Amazons so you don't have to go checking manually: https://www.curiua.com/

The 750w recommendation is for people who have a habit of cheaping out on PSUs. Do you have a good PSU?

It should be ok then. I've only a 600w psu myself and after researching the 390 it should be grand on mine and any psu as long as it's not some cheap generic yolk.

Sorry, missed that. That PSU'll be fine (with enough room for overclocking).

I don't think the €312 you quoted includes tax and duty. I just put it in my basket and when I entered a zipcode it added an extra charge "Estimated VAT/GST & Duty: €73,72" which brought the total to €395.18
