Stretch less and wait for a non reference R9 290 (non X)

$400

The 290 (non X) has fewer stream processors, a lower clock speed and lower compute performance. Apart from that they are very similar.

It's only a little slower as it's meant to tackle the GTX 780, but for that small performance drop you pay a whopping $150 less compared to the $550 290X
