70 watts over the competing card is not a spaceheater. That's completely overblown propaganda and exaggeration. A 290 uses as much power as a 970 and a lightbulb. If the difference is about a lightbulb, its not that much, and it wont heat your room where a 970 wouldnt. You're wrong, period, end of story.
OP:
Despite the propagandists endless complaining otherwise, you should consider both 970 and 290 in terms of performance, price and game bundles to determine which is right. The 290 is a better buy if you dont have a use for the new Witcher or Batman games bundle with the 970, but id say the 970 is a good buy if you were planning on buying those games.
