Just ordered my first Intel parts last week, I've always been AMD because of a low budget but I finally upgraded to a r9 390x and my old fx-8120 black is no longer able to keep up with current games.

I just got a new i5-6600k and some ddr4 memory with a gigabyte gaming 3 mobo.

Hopefully my cpu/ram won't be a bottleneck for another 5 years or so like the last one (2010/2011)

I got a new r9 290x 8gb about 2 months ago and I've noticed that it's got a pretty noisy coil whine (louder than all 6 fans in my case by far) from day one on certain games menu screens. I've had some graphical artifacts show up on a few games either after playing for hours or during menus of some games. I realized that a few games weren't properly utilizing vsync and I was pumping out about 150+ fps during the menus which I assume was causing the audible whine and glitches.

Has anyone else had these issues with a new GPU or should I send it back for an RMA?
