Can this build run most games on MAX settings for at least 60fps on a 1920x1080 (1080p) monitor? (Games like Battlefield 4, Arma 3, and the like)

Original budget was around 1000$

I'm not entirely familiar with xFire, so if there's any issues such as FPS drops and all that- please let me know.

Please note if there any incompatibilities or if the parts just plain don't work together.

 
Solution
I'd invest in a Full ATX tower case and a full ATX motherboard if going crossfire, otherwise you'll have some airflow issues not to mention the annoyance it is to install 2x video cards on a matx board, add to it the fact that the 290x heats up a lot (90ºC+ during load)...

Consider instead getting 2x GTX 970, its slightly faster than the R9 290x while being far more efficient drawing less power and doesn't heat up so hard (around 70ºC during load).

Finally, when taking two high-end video cards, you want a K version of the CPU to OC it, you'll gain a nice boost in FPS that otherwise would be lost due to your CPU bottlenecking your video cards.
