I am trying to decide between a XFX Radeon R9 290X 4GB graphics card or a Sapphire Radeon R9 290X 4GB graphics card? There is about a $60 difference...but I am willing to pay that if the Sapphire shows a difference in performance/reliability.

Honestly R9-290X is an amazing GPU till now. I recommend you to wait for a month or two to release custom cooler based R9-290x graphics card. That makes the R9-290X more enjoyable by running cooler and quieter. Till then hold your horses.............

Quality and performance wise, they are all the same.

edit: I've heard cooling is better on a Sapphire over an XFX, except XFX offers lifetime warranty.

Any idea how much more the custom cooler based one will be?
