If you have a budget to dish out for R9 290X, you might as well just buy 2 R9 270X and crossfire that.

R9 290X = 2840 stream processors

R9 270X = 1280 stream, so two of them gives you 2560 which gets you closer to R9 290X @ half the price and power consumption is the same with two R9 270X being more efficient in heat and noise. No reason to overspend on R9 290X if you are not gaming 6 monitors at 4K.
