Do I really need a gtx 780 to play bf4 at its full potential or will a amd 290x be fine ? ... I want to buy a decent monitor maybe even a 144mhz one ... I'll be using an intel i5 4670k with 8gb of 1600mhz ram

I'm sure the 290x will be fine, it is a great card.

Yeah as above, the 290x looks to be on par with the 780 in performance anyway.

That said, if you ever plan to run dual graphics cards, I would go with the 780, as SLI seems to work better and more reliably than Crossfire.

To be able to take full advantage of a 144hz monitor, you need to be able to run games at a high fps (144 in this case). An R9 290x and a 780 will easily be able to run BF4 possibly maxed out at a good frame rate. It will not do 144 fps though
