My primary monitor is a 2560x1440 Korean model and its being driven by a GTX560Ti 448 core graphics card which is completely insufficient at driving that resolution while gaming (not without seriously knocking back the quality settings anyway). I really want to upgrade and, based on other discussion threads around here, it looks like the R9 290 is a quick and cheap upgrade from what I have now. Newegg has an MSI model for $250 after rebate:

Is this still a good deal? I know AMD's 300-series GPUs are around the corner but I'm thinking I don't want to bother waiting for that. Also, are there any other notable upgrade options at the $250 price?
