hi dude, would you recommend i upgrade instead?

Hi guys, i currently own a Reference EVGA GTX 780 Ti, and i have GPU water-cooling block that is not installed. I'm looking for recommendations for parts (Excluding the block) to convert my card to water-cooling.

Is the 290 a worthy upgrade over the 280X?

Hi everyone, im in the process of buying parts for my new PC, and can't seem to decide if i should go for a MSI Radeon R9 290, or a MSI GeForce GTX 960 4 gb. Im planning to use an Intel Stock cooler for an i5-4460, so choosing a card that has great performance and doesn't put out a lot of heat, is a huge bonus. I have heard the 290 is a good card but uses a lot power and puts out a fair bit of heat. Does the 960 also suffer from this? parts list: Intel core i5-4460 (with Stock Cooler) 500W 80+ bronze PSU 8 GBs of 1600 Mhz DDR3 memory NZXT Phantom 240 case Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD MSI H81M-P33 EDIT: is a 500W PSU enough for a 290 and a Core i5?
