Not recommended to do so as R9 390 is high in power consumption and Hexa series is a low-to-mid end grade PSU only, even though it will work on your system but not worth to risk it, if anything goes wrong, prepare to  bangwall.gif

It is actually not an upgrade, they are performing neck to neck and are considered as same tier GPU.

GTX970 has much lower power consumption and this allows you to run it on a cheaper PSU, the drawback is its VRAM which is 4GB vs R9 390's 8GB, but for 1080p, 4GB is more than enough nowadays, only some games are using > 4GB VRAM if you turn all the graphics settings to max especially texture and environment quality, it also outperforms R9 390 in GameWorks enabled games.

While R9 390 is considered more "future proof" due to the extra 4GB VRAM but consumes more power and you need to spend more money to get a decent PSU to run it, if you compare the raw performance between them, R9 390 will have slight edge.

So.. what does extra vram do haha. And u said performance wise r9 390 will have slight edge, is it noticeable tho?
