The 750k will bottleneck the 290x. especially on cpu intensive games.
If you're getting the 290x at a great price & you can afford it, then I'll say go for it.
The bottleneck won't be that big of an issue.

IT will depend, more in cpu intensive games & less in gpu intensive games.
this is a better deal

that's the thing, the 290x is only about 5% better

The 290 is better value(bang for buck)

At 1080p you'll get spanked by the 'usual suspects' but otherwise things should be dandy --- at resolutions above 1080p you should not have any issues.
