I'm planning on building a rig soon and need a card that's good for future proofing

Gtx 970 is superior in almost every category.

Almost same in performance but the GTX 970 wins on power efficiency.

How soon is 'soon'? Because in two months the prices might have already shifted.
What's your budget?
Why not the R9 390x rather than the 290x?

doubt the 300 series didnt perform as good as expected at least not for price breakers as far as i have read but its not bad to give amd some credit still it should be a good option if you want a lot of video ram since i think there are 8gb models
