780 is in close contest with 290. 290x is better. however for 1080p 780 and 290 provide more than enough performance. The 290x does a little better, but its more for higher resolutions. if you have the money for 290x, buy it.
If you want very good performance price ratio then 290 / 780 will do amazing for 1080. As performance they are very very close, but if you want to record game play the nvidia card offers shadowplay, something you could consider.
Sapphire Tri-X or gigabyte windforce for 290
and
asus or evga acx superclocked for 780
