I wold go with 2x r9 290x. Why dont you just get two 780ti. I know its more expensive but you will have more power
Two R9 290X. Three cards is just stupid and a waste of money. Performance increment is not simply +100% for every extra card. Its more like +40-60% for the second card and something miserably low for the third. And to run three cards would require so much power and produce so much heat.
Also just in case, make sure your motherboard supports Crossfire and the PSU is 800W or better.

The fewer GPUs you need the better. Less buggy, better utilization of their potential, better support etc.
I'd just make sure to get an aftermarket version of the 290x. Two 290x with stock cooling will produce way too much heat.
