Knowing the new card releases are just around the corner, but still having to do a new build, Im having a difficult time deciding what card to get.
I'm going with Skylake 1151 as it is probably the newest release with a new line of CPU's knowing to coming out for it sometime in the future.
That said, I am leaning towards an R9 390. It's not too expensive, but has plenty of power and can be Crossfired later for decent 4K (1080p as of now). I can also sell it later and go big on the new generation GPU's and not be out as much money; say if I were replacing a 980Ti
Is this sound logic?
After looking at many cards and reviews, I'm a little concerned about some of the support offered by vendors. Specifically, honoring their warranties and using serial based RMA's.
I'm worried about spending 350-400 bones on a DOA card (seems to be happening a lot more these days) that would be difficult to get replaced. So what are your experiences with the big names? Who should I go with, or stay away, etc?
Motherboard recommendations also welcome
