R9 390 8GB vs. RX 580 4GB

Noob at mining here. Just started running NiceHash on my home gaming computer for the heck of it, and inquired to a more experienced friend how I can get into mining on a budget. He sent me a handful of parts to start a rig, which included using RX 580 4GB graphics card as a starter (just a single for now) which was on eBay for around $260. Somehow I ended up deciding that I was making a hell of a deal on an R9 390 8GB for $244 shipped from eBay and bought that. Very shortly afterwards he told me I was a dummy and that I should have stuck w/ the 580 because it was a better card for only a couple bucks more. I tried to cancel the 390 order, but as figured the eBay seller sent it this afternoon without a response to my cancellation inquiry. What's your advice on what i should do w/ the 390? I can possibly just re-list it on eBay and more or less get my cash back or maybe even a couple bucks more, or should I keep it and start mining? Perhaps I can dial back some settings to ease up the power consumption? Thanks a lot guys!
