seems 290 is at least $50 cheaper than 970, isn't it??
Yes, the 290 is cheaper, but AMD cards and CPUs are almost always cheaper. The AMD card would suit you just fine for gaming, editing, whatever your needs may be, as long as they're not too demanding, but the 970 would be a lot better for most, if not all of that stuff.
