PCIe 2.0 will not bottleneck any modern GPU, running at x16 or x8. There is no need to upgrade your current CPU or motherboard for gaming.

The 380 is Tonga; basically a 285 with a 4GB VRAM option. 390(X) is Hawaii; not much improvement over 290(X) except in VRAM, and you are unlikely to need more than 4GB. They aren't worth their price, IMO. A 290(X) is a good option, and so is a 970.

Thanks for the clarification, that saves my wallet some hassle then.
