Spinning beachball instead of login R9 390x

Hey forum geniuses,

I'm having trouble getting my new installation of Yosemite to run correctly.

First, some specs for you:

MOBO: Gigabyte 970A-D3 FD

CPU: AMD FX 6300

GPU: MSI R9 390x

HDD: Sandisk 128GB SSD

YosemiteZone 10.10.1 Distro

 

The issue that I'm having is that after I installed Yosemite, which only required bootflags /amd64 and npci=0x3000, I'm unable to get to the login screen. The computer boots up fine, so there are no reported errors when using verbose boot. However, after the boot screen passes and I should get to the login screen, I get to a gray screen where the cursor becomes the beach-ball of death. Booting with -x allows login, but lacks any sort of graphics acceleration, so it takes a while to be able to do so. While I am not exactly sure as to what the cause is, I'm guessing it is related to my new R9 390x, as I had a previously functioning Yosemite build back when I had a GTX 760 and never encountered this issue with all other parts being the same. Perhaps it's as simple as loading the proper drivers, but I'm not familiar with what is required for an AMD graphics card.

 

Any helpful advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
