290x = faster = Better performance for standard clock speed :) .
Gtx 780 = cooler = Better ocing.

290x>780>290 with aftermarket cooler, but keep it mind 4gb VRAM.

Heat slightly less on NVIDIA side.

Good luck.

Or get one 290 and another later.

It is not louder and the temps are the same. The 290x is the way to go.

29X is better and 290 is about the same as a 780 but the performance difference is not that much and the 780 usually consumes less power.
