Corsair 600t, Crossfire issues?

About to pull the trigger and build my first gaming pc.

 

Was going to start off with one Sapphire Vapor-x R9 290, and then in the future will look to adding another one for crossfire.

 

Will be using a AS Rock Extreme6 motherboard and Corsair 600t, I've read that R9 290's can be faced with some cooling issues and so was wondering whether it would be ok or not?

 

Thanks so much.

Parts list if it helps,

Thanks I was fairly sure this was the answer, didn't want to splash out over £1000 pound to realise i'd essentially turned my room into a sauna.

the cooling issue is the same for every multi-gpu setup. The top GPU gets warmer air because there is less airflow and because the bottom one radiates heat :) Nothing to worry about though
