r9 290 on a 60Hz monitor?

[EJR9]

So all I need to decide on right now is my GPU and monitor for my PC build.

The Gigabyte r9 290 and the Sapphire r9 290 Tri-X are both only $100 more than the r9 280x models.
The problem is, I can't afford more than a 60Hz monitor and won't have the money for one for quite a while.

I've read that if I'm using only a 60Hz monitor with a high end GPU I'm going to have to endure a lot of tearing as the GPU will be trying to put out more fps than the monitors refresh rate.
So is it still worth going for the 290 for price-performance over the 280x? plus the longevity/future proofing I guess.

Could I just limit it to putting out 60fps to avoid tearing?
Then maybe in a couple years save up and buy myself a 120/144hz monitor?

Cheers.

vsync, locks your fps at your refresh rate

it's a non-issue

I'm new to the whole PC jazz so I never fully understood what vsync was. Just read an article explaining exactly what it is, thanks to your comment.
Well that's good then, so it shouldn't be a problem if I've got vsync on huh? Shweet!
