The r9 290 may well be the better proforming card but it makes a hell of a noise under load and produces a lot of heat. If you don't mind a lot of noise or if your gaming through headphones then go for it otherwise of go for the 770

Only the stock cooler is noisy, the aftermarket coolers are just as good as with other cards.

That is not true. The R9 290 is only about 15% faster than the GTX 770. For a gain of +20 fps, the GTX 770 would have to be outputting about 133 fps, in which case, you the extra 20 fps is pointless.
