I have a AMD FX-4350 at 4.2ghz (my motherboard can not be over clocked) and I cannot decide to get the r9 290 or the r9 380 4gb. I mainly plan on using this graphics card for games like battlefield 4, fallout 4, crysis 3, and games like that preferable at max but I don't mind bumping them down a little.
 
Solution
The r9 290 is a much faster card than 380( not a rename as someone said), but your cpu might bottleneck it to some degree. If you plan to upgrade the cpu down the road then the 290 is clearly the better choice
