I'm a bit confused on what to get...

I have an XFX R9 290 (unlocked to R9 290X) and since there's news that AMD is going to cut down prices of the 290/X series, is it a worth choice to buy another R9 290X and go crossfire? or should I sell my R9 290X and get a GTX970?

Thanks in advance for your answers! :)

I would sell the 290x and get 2x GTX970.

Save you a lot of power and fan noise!

Depends on your current PSU.
You gonna need a better quality psu. Preferably a 1000W psu if overclocking but a 850W might cut it.
Not worth it to sell and get a GTX 970 since the value you get back isn't that much for a R9 290.
