So right know I have a MSI 270x 4gb and I have to build a freind a pc in about a month he already wants to buy my gpu off me so I will need a new one, I was originally going to get the MSI 290 but The GTX 970 sounds like a much better deal... Am I correct? Is the 290 a better choice? Would this card bottle neck a fx 8350? Please help!

GTX 970 hands down. The factory overclocked cards are faster than an R9 290X out of the box and they overclock even further to faster than a GTX 780 Ti. No bottlenecking with that CPU although some games will do better if you overclock it.

The 970 is way better, better performance better price better power consumption. It really seems to be the best price performance king of pretty much all cards.

At this point in time its pretty hard to suggest a 290 unless you can find one relatively cheap.
