For the motherboard get any 990 or 990FX chipset motherboard that supports Crossifre.

For the PSU, you will require a minimum of 550W for a R9 280X Crossfire. But for the total build I would recommend at least 750-850W. But to stay on the safe side when doing a SLI or Crossifre. A 850W is the best choice. And you will also need to have a tier 1-2 PSU. Here's the list to assist you out.
