Haven't seen a new 290X that cheap. The 970 is worth considering. It performs about as well (better in some games, a little worse in others), but outputs less heat, uses less power, and may overclock a little better/more safely.
970 is pretty much the high-end value king right now.
However, you'd need a different motherboard if you were to SLI in the future. That board does not support SLI.

For almost the same price? Yeah, easily the 970. 290X can't compare.
AMD is due for the 390 and 390X in what, February? I think. Early 2015, which is coming pretty damn soon.
ETA: I wish I would have known NewEgg was going to sell that R9 290 for $199 after rebate, I would have gotten that dammit and sold my 270X. frick me. Obviously sold out.

Can y'all link me a decent brand at a good price for the GTX 970? I'm going to request cancellation for the R9-290x, but I don't want to have to cancel another order if I order one that's not reliable. Thanks for the help!
By the way, I don't plan to ever use a 2nd video card. I'll probably just build another system in a few more years.
I already requested cancellation for the RAM and bought the GSkill off of NewEgg.
