I believe the best card would be 280X (much cheaper than 290X)  |

It depends on which altcoin you choose to mine.

270x is good if you want energy efficiency.

Agree. I use R9 270x and I'm satisfied (with respect to consumption and noise level). |

The Gigabyte HD7950 WF3 offers great value for money, they provide a decent hashrate while consuming minimal power. If you are unable to source the HD7950 I would recommend the Asus R9 280X DirectCU II, while this card consumes more power, it is able to produce an impressive 820 KH/s whilst mining Scrypt coins. |

First of all, AMD cards are superior when it comes to mining compared to Nvidia's cards. And if you choose AMD, which I think you should, I'd recommend R9 280X. I haven't had any personal experience with it but it seems to be the most popular card for scrypt mining.
