Still cracking card, can match a 390X when clocked the same. Only where the 390X extra VRAM comes into play with higher resolutions does the 290X concede to it IMO.
€269.90 = approx. £202.25 using Amazon currency conversion, could workout cheaper if using a currency conversion friendly card.
This is how I see it regarding the extra ram/future proofing aspect on 390/X, once the ram really start to come into play the GPU may not be sufficient.

Don't you get import charges ect if you buy from France ?

No, import charge as its part of EU, only when buy outside of EU do you face import charges.

Checkout as Amazon UK, your UK account will work on France site. You could use google chrome auto translate, but if you don't layout of site is same as UK, so click same buttons if you get what I mean.
Regarding warranty I just asked Amazon UK CS Team:-

this is not the same as the 390x the 290x this the same as the 390..... the 390x is about 10FPS more then the 290x so overclock the 390x and then you have 10FPS more

The GPU is a Hawaii XT on 390X and 290X, the 390/X are rebrands of 290/X.
Here is page from HardOCP review where clock vs clock is tested.
In reviews of say a MSI 390X clocked at 1100 GPU 1525 RAM against a 290X at 1000 GPU 1250 RAM and of course you'll see a difference then.
When overclocking the 390/X do reach higher RAM speeds generally but GPU clock aids performance more and from what I've seen 390/X is not guaranteed to OC further levels than a 290/X. Technically the 390/X is just a higher ref clock version of 290/X.
