1. The only difference is quality and life span, Powercolor is a chinese brand so i won't say much about it but i'd recommend you to get sapphire's R9 390.

2. As i said Powercolor is a chinese brand so can't say much about life span but they do look good. Cooling might be an issue for Powercolor.

3. Yes Newegg is Reliable.

Thanks for the mention mate. @Yasir Nadeem


Powercolor is a OK brand, but its not recommended since its not on the big competitors scene.
I believe the build quality isn't that premium, anyway, The fact its a less known brand and no official sales here will be a trouble for you, so i'd advise against it.

if you're in Pakistan, I suggest you to find a Sapphire R9 390 (top 390s out there). (Personal experience, Build quality is bombastic)
Or for the ASUS R9 390 because of their 3 years warranty on it.

Eitherway, you wont go wrong.

Not saying you should stay away from PowerColor, its just that, Brands that dont have premium build qualities dont seem to last very long in our country.

Inno3D is one example, HIS is another, etc. so PwrC is on the same level.

XFX is also a Chinese brand and i would advise against it + 390 is newer and has more Vram which is a plus and in some games 390 beats 970 so i'd recommend anyone to get a 390 over 970.

Bro im not complaining abt xfx actually im talking abt 390, games are optimized wid nvidia. Thou it has 8gb vram yet 970 is better choice. It is my personal opinion

The last powercolour i used was 280x turbo duo and in all respects it was one of the most strong and stable card i have ever owned. especially the backplate support really made it tough and elegent.
you can go with the powecolor version. not to mention msi is also good.

moreover yes newegg is a reliable site but you have to be in us or canada to get product(s) from them directly.

be sure to buy a nice and reliable 550w or more PSU unit before considering on purchasing r9 390.

Get Sapphire or MSI
and new egg is reliable
