Hello,
im building a new pc,
I was going to get crossfire sapphire r9 280x toxic
but it will be cheaper to get one 290x, and i can always get another later.

so whats the best type of 290x?
and would it be a better idea to get one of them or the two 280x toxic's?

Don't buy a 290x until 3rd party cooling solutions surface. The 780ti is a great card, but expensive. With the price drops, the 780 and 770 are still great cards as well.

Agree with Sword. 290x is great, but needs a better cooler so the clock speeds can stay where they are supposed to be. Why spend $700 on the 780TI, if the $550 290X will do the same job? Other then you can get the 780TI now and you need to wait for the 290X.

It's a thought. Its well worth it from the slight review I saw on toms when the used the Accelero(?) I'm not sure how much that cost extra though, and at that point you start to creep towards the 780ti's cost.
