It depends on what you use the GPU for. As mentioned, for 1080p gaming the 290 is even overkill unless you have a 120/144Hz monitor. Why spend more $ on the GPU?If price matters then I'd suggest getting what you need and some, not way more than you need. Even at 2560x1440 the 290 can still max out BF4. So, at 1920x1080 it is plenty!!!!

Another game, another example of how at 1080 the 290 is already overkill:
