290 will be great for running today's and tomorrow's games and will serve you even if you upgrade to a higher res.
But if it's a stock cooled 290 make sure that you can deal with the heat and noise. It was too much for me (even with MSI's twinfrozr cooler) but you might be fine.
A certain store is selling R9 290 40usd cheaper than a gtx 770. I play at 1080p single monitor, would it be overkill for today's games at 1080p?
Depending on what games , settings of games you want to play and the processor you will pair it up with,if you give me the details I could give my opinion on it.

I play at ultra, visuals are really important for me. I'm just worried that it might be too much since I don't plan on having triple monitor setup cause I don't see the benefit. I will pair it with an i5 ivy bridge.
