if you're concerned about the overclock rendering it unstable, you could always just use EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner to tune it down to stable levels while keeping the advantage of the more efficient aftermarket cooler design.

you should get the card that you're more confident in, taking into account driver stability, resale value (for the...

you should get the card that you're more confident in, taking into account driver stability, resale value (for the inevitable upgrade), power consumption, noise and other factors that might affect your experience.

IMHO, both are good cards, but i'd personally use the 780Ti for the lower power draw since my PSU and casing airflow isn't going to be comfortable with the ~300W draw the 290X needs.
