i have a GA-F2A88X-D3H with A10-6800k OC 4.8ghz and i am looking to upgrade grahics card to a 2x MSI R9 270 Gaming OC 2Gb in crossfire it and ill also add a 1100 watt power supply what i want to know is in crossfire running 2 cards worth the money $179.99 each card or a R9 290 4Gb for $439.99 but i really want to take advantage of CrossFire some say the R9 270 is less heat but i have a high airflow case and R9 290 is Not SLI/CrossFire ready

First off, doing two gpus in crossfireX will be severely bottlenecked by that A10 6800K. Even though it is overclocked that high, just get one graphics card and get a new mobo and cpu.

Also, generally it isn't a good idea to crossfire or SLI two cards now. Your best option to get the most performance out of your budget would be to get the most powerful single gpu card you can afford then add another one on in the future.

Yes, you can use 1 R9, which shouldn't be bottlenecked by the APU.
