Radeon R9 290X has "2816 Stream Processors" but Radeon R9 290 has "2560 Stream Processors"

The Question is. Will the price drop by a 100 dollars anytime soon? seems like there asking way to much

Maybe or maybe not

be careful.....buy it before the stocks run out 😛

only certain retailers are jacking up the price. look around you should be able to find some for normal MSRP

the 290 has more OC headroom than the 290x

Should I buy the r9 290 or 290x
And should I get Asus or this one

for cooler its personal preference, if you want performance out of the box then get the 290x, if you want to tweak it masnually later on, get the 290
