Thanks both of you.
BTW out of MSI and TRI X which has better overclocking capabilities and temperature wise more headroom. My ambient is about 30 C.

I think the Tri-X cooler is better. Therefore, it should give you a better chance of achieving a decent overclock IF you are at least somewhat lucky in the silicon lottery...

I was able to play Farcry 3 at very high settings at 2560*1440 with a 290 Tri-x and Dying light demo at the highest settings and Hitman absolution at the highest settings too at 1440p. 2560*1080p is easier for the video card than 1440p so a 390 should be able to handle it fine plus u have the extra vram. I would choose the Tri-x. They put really good coolers. Also, if you can afford it I would say invest on a good 1440p monitor. Like Russian sensation said a monitor should last you for years (2-3 video card upgrades) So it makes sense to get a good one. So I would get a used 290 and the 50 you save put it towards the 1440p monitor
