I am planning on getting one or the other. I am also crossfiring (Just 2) them. i want to run ARMA 3 on Max setting. Will it make a real difference if I get the 290 over the 290x? I could save almost 300$ so tel me your opinion.

Crossfire with 2 - 290's is plenty of power with some to spare.

You will need 1000w PSU to run 2.

And don't buy 290/290x with reference cooler... buy some with custom coolers.
