Upgrading my GPU

This is my current build, which I purchased from OcUK around 3 or 4 years ago.

Intel i7 950 @ 4Ghz
Asus P6X58D-E
Gigabyte GTX 470
Corsair Dominator 6GB RAM

I'm thinking of replacing my 470, which by the way is a true champ of a card. It still plays everything I chuck at it - but it doesn't support more than two monitors unfortunately and I now have three.

So I was thinking of going for the ASUS R9-290x DirectCU ii OC. Now I can also afford a 780 ti, but I decided not to go for it due to it having less vram. Is that sensible? or is the 780 ti a better choice? I want to game with 3 monitors, with just one card.

Also, will my motherboard be okay with the latest cards?

Thanks for the help.
