If you go for the r9 290x, save yourself some money and get the r9 290(non-x), there is only a 7% perfomance differance you can easily get back with overclocking

Money is really not that problem. Which is good for gaming?

 

Both cards are made for gaming, if money is not a problem go with 3-sli titan black.

3-way SLI scales horribly and that is a stupid suggestion unless he games at 4K.

 

Dude, I was making fun, if people say "money is not a problem" I give them a way to clear their bank accounts.

which graphics card brand do u recommend?

 

If you go with amd: sapphire, msi, asus (not the dcii cooler), gigabyte (even though they're ugly)

If you go with nvidia: evga, msi, asus, gigabyte (even though they're ugly)

which brand nvidia cards are best for gaming?

There's no model specifically better for gaming and it varies from different coolers and designs. 

Money is really not that problem. Which one is good for gaming?

The 290x is more on par with the 780 Ti than the 780.
