I want to know what will be better Im looking at these 2 cards. Ive looked at reviews and such but I just want to know if going for an older 290x is worth the jump at 1080p

Games i play are skyrim fully modded. Assassins creed unity far cry 4. All on a 42 inch tv. Right now with my 660 and 2500k at 4.3 ghz I get around 20 fps in assassin creed unity and 30-50 with a fair amount of graphics mods In skyrim. I want to be able to load skyrim up with a ridiculous amount of mods as it has been my dream for years now. WIth just every texture mod i can find. This will also be for the new GTA 5. While it is all speculation at this point I am just going to assume it will be fairly demanding.
My rig is accurate in my signature. I do not plan to sli or crossfire as i have said i would with my previous 2 cards but ended up going for a new one card version.
