So the 290x is in the mail. When i upgrade, assuming my amd suite (catalyst control center) is fully upgraded right now, do I just drop in the card and have it work, or will there be special drivers to install and mess around with? thanks.

The main driver suite is pretty well the same, but I'd update when the new card arrives, just download and save the new driver package, uninstall the entire AMD suite, restart, install the new stuff, restart, should be done.
If you're using a HDMI cable, it's likely the screen display won't look right, (too small/big) you'll need to adjust the overscan; Start the CCC>My Digital Flat Panels>Scaling Options>move the slider until the image fits.
