Which would be better?
looking to run max settings on games like BF4, League of legends, Watch Dogs, ESO. ect. on solo monitor 1080p maybe hook up to a second one once in a while.
I know the 280 is cheaper but from what i hear the drivers for it are having alot of problems and not really something i was looking to deal with.
 

There are still some limitations with Crossfire - the fix doesn't work in DirectX 9 or across multiple monitors yet.

But other than that, the R9 280X is pretty compelling value at the moment.

I have the 770 2gb. its a great card/ runs everything ultra and 30% to 60% power consumption also never goes above 60oC. These cards from AMD are good but offer limited overclocking especially the 290x. There like a heater for your case but if you don't mind that go for the cheaper option. normally that wont help your wallet in the long run... My not a fan boy I have the 770 and for me its handled everything I throw at it
