you should be fine, the 290x will be a bit faster than a titan, and the 2700k doesn't bottleneck a titan either.

Yea really I am still deciding to go with AMD or Nvidia's Maxwell 20nm gpus and I really do not want to upgrade my motherboard and CPU until when Skylake comes out with DDR4 RAM.

meh, dont worry too much about ddr4, if anything it will be like ddr2-->ddr3 which was negligible, not to mention in the beginning ddr4 sticks will be extremely expensive, im talking $100 for a 4gb stick, maybe more. You could just get a 7950/7970, they're very fast and on clearance sale prices right now.

I doubt they will stay high in price for a long time. And 4GB sticks might be the smallest you get on one stick...

id say 2 years for the price to drop to ddr3 levels, and for what? Performance that will be 1-2% better than ddr3. Not worth waiting for, i wouldn't plan a build around it for sure, id just go with whats good now and then later on when doing a new build, upgrade to ddr4 ram/mobo and new cpu/gpu

It will have an great effect on iGPU at least, dunno what else really require a lot of bandwidth on the RAM...
