I want a great gpu..I hear the r9 290 is close to gtx 780..but it can fail and get hot.

nvidia has better drivers and cooling options yes but more expensive... Radeon cards are always hotter than nvidias because they are MADE to run that way. R9 290 is really good card and you might even get R9 290x version for the price of GTX780 so it depends on the money really.

Between R9 290 and GTX780 I would go for 780... Between R9 290x and 780 would pick 290x

I got a setup with a 770 yesterday, in fact I am playing Watch_Dogs without any frame lag on high settings, haven't tried very high but can't see it dropping that many frames.. 770 is decently priced IMO but as the chap above said the other cards do out perform it.. It's just whether or not you want to pay for the difference.

Personally, I love nvidia cards so many opinion may be slightly biased but I did look around. I would take a 780 over an r9 290 and r 290x, if you have the cash you can always pick up the 780 ti too.

I also have GTX770 and it's awesome yea :D 
Before I had HD 6770 from Radeon and it never failed me (asus model)

R9 290x for bigger resolutions , GTX780 up to fullHD resolution I would say.. that would be my choice..

Depending on what you can afford, this is the scale of what I would get:
R9 290 -> GTX 780 -> R9 290x -> GTX 780TI
