I know nothing but I think you should wait unless you have a pressing reason to not.

If it is that close, and AMD is kicking out the next generation I say wait. The 290 will drop new, but the demand for used ones on ebay will be even more extensive. I have not done a used card in some time, but when I did there was never an issue.
If you absolutely cannot wait, I say 290x. By the time you feel it is no longer holding up the 300 series will probably be a memory.

I would wait, even if you are not interested in the 300 series, its release should lower the prices of the 290s. Also, since nVidia released GeForce GTX TITAN X(not saying that this one is worth buying unless you have shittons of money), AMD is WAY behind so I expect them to announce something soon. I recommend waiting, but in the end it's up to you as I don't know how bad your current GPU is and what games you want to play and when.

Yeah, I don't know what to suggest, I am personally waiting myself as I am really fad up with my outdated laptop and I am planning to build a gaming PC this September. As for the price reduction, I think that it's highly likely, but I am not sure what I would if I were in your situation, having no GPU really sucks and waiting til June might be a long time.

*This
I'm waiting to buy a gpu as well, but I'd never waste 350€ on a 290x right now, the new cards are just around the corner and if they come late the old ones will at least get a price reduction. According to rumors the 370x Could be available as soon as April, so I wouldn't rush things :3
but that's my opinion.

mm they say that about the 390x which will be priced around the value of the nvidia 980, if you need a graphic card right now and willing to spend that much, I'd go with a 970 despite the 3.5 gb bullshit.
I wouldn't feel comfortable with a 290x considering the fact that I'd keep the card for a long time ^^

So i have been meaning to buy a decent gpu for a long time now.Now that i have enough money to buy one, i want to buy r9 290 or r9 290x. But the rumor is that r9 300 series is around the corner.Rumor says that AMD will release 300 series in june. If that is true then it will be released in market around the july. That's a long time wait for me.
So what should i do ? Buy the r9 290x,290 or wait for 300 series ?
i have a 1080p monitor.i am not upgrading to 4k anytime soon in the future.
