I own Sapphire's Vapor-X R9 290X 8GB and I love it! But that's because I run a resolution of 6048 x 1080 with 3 - 24" monitors and that res as well as higher resolutions benefit from the extra GDDR5.

But at resolutions under 4K both the 290X 4GB or 8GB and the GTX 970 are very close, in fact I think the GTX wins by a hair. The GTX 970 is also about $40 - $50 cheaper than the 290X 4GB

The GTX 970 also uses less power and generally runs cooler with the possible exception of the fairly expensive Vapor-X R9 290X

I love my 290X but I run Eyefinity. For your application and anything up to 4K the GTX 970 is the way to go and after 4K I would only recommend the 8GB 290X over the GTX 970.

Buy the GTX 970 you won't be sorry.:D

The 970 has less cores but they're more powerful cores. In terms of gaming performance the 970 is tied with the 290x and both are slightly stronger than the 780. The 970 has less heat and a lower TDP leading to better overclocking so it gets my vote. But you should really upgrade your monitor to take full advantage of that rig.
