    Could drop to 8gb ram if wanted. Waiting to Mid July for the AIB 480s might be an option, about the same performance, price remains to be seen.

    Is that keyboard mechanical? If its not you're just throwing money away IMO, either splash on a good mechanical for comfort or get a cheap one with some OS functions and leave it at that, there's no need for an in between imo

    If you're going R9 390, you'll definitely want at least a 700W PSU.
    Switch to RX 480 or save up for a more powerful card (GTX 980, 1070).

    480 is about on par with a 390, maybe a bit ahead of it in the coming weeks.

    700w?

    R9 390 are power-hungry cards, you'd be well north of 400W while gaming.

    It'll be sound, they don't guzzle near as much as a 290 and mine runs perfectly at 100% on a 500w. Now I wouldn't recommend 500w for a 290 for a 390 is golden IMO.

    My comment was more based on future cards anyways :)

    *edit* Both 275w it seems, I though there was a good gap between them, never mind me then so
