I would go with this. The 240M is just as good as the 280L but heaps cheaper. I did pick a different case though (you might want to adjust that to suit your tastes) But this build is stronger
 
Edit: Changed motherboard to one more suited for CF'ing big cards.
Edit: For $100 more you can get an I7-4790k which will be better for future games when they use more than 4 threads.

Can I crossfire that r9 290 with this Motherboard? Its a 2.5 Slot GPU...

Should I go with the nepton 280L or would a CM 212 evo be enough, because Ive heard that the 8350 gets very hot by stock and I might Overclock it...

Going AMD with a $1300 budget is a bit pointless to be honest. Give me a moment to make a better build

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Note, the 240M is not completely as good as a 280L however they are quite close in terms of performance.

Yes dual Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X will fit on the motherboard in the Phantom 530 case. However, the psu will be border line in CrossFire. I would suggest an 850W unit like the EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR or Seasonic M12II 850.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
