I find that the 290 is worth your dollar a little more than the 290X. Especially on 1080p.

if I may offer you some other advise. either wait for the new AMD series, or get a card from the new nvidia series that laucnhed last week.
a gtx 970 has a better performance then the r9 290x and it's cheaper, gets less hot and uses less power.

but the 970 is better, and it shouldnt be 400 dollar? euro's? pounds?
it should be somewhere around the 330$ mark

but as answer on the original question, if you realy want to go with amd, eventhough you can get better performance for less money...then yes the r9 290 is worth the extra money
