Which one would be a better build for the money? I intend to use the system for gaming and programming.

Option 1 (With two R9 290s): http://
Option 2 (With one GTX 970): http://

Feel free to critique the build but please explain why you make the changes because I want to learn these things so I don't have to keep turning to the forums! :D
 
Solution
Okay then. Go with the r9 290 crossfire. Better than single GTX 970. It will perform well with all games and will also allow you to play at ultra settings with good fps rates.
