2 R9 290x's in crossfire is much more than $599.99. That would run you over $1000. I would say that the 780 Ti superclocked would work well :) 
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... (Free watchdogs too :) ) It is more than $619, though. Take note of that.

Crossfired 290x's will be a great deal more powerful than a single 780 Ti but will that PSU isnt built to handle them

290x's recommend a 700watt PSU with 42Amps on the 12volt rail supplied by 8+6pin cables. While the Antec supplies 48amps over a 12v rail through 2x6+2 pin cables.

The GTX 780 Ti is probably going to be better in most games, but it is $200 more. I would say it is up to you and what you can fit into your budget. If you have the money, I would say a 780 Ti is good considering all of the nVidia optimized games. A 290x won't disappoint, either.

if you cannot afford the 780ti than the 290x will be great as well.

as you see both are close in performance. so either one you get will get u great performance obviously for your buck the 290x seems like a better deal i must agree
