any recommendations , im not sure how many fans i need for running 2x r9 290 windforce gpu 

[Cacao]

Other than the power supply being RIDICULOUSLY overkill, looks pretty good!

 

And yeah, definitely get some fans for the front of the case.

1300W for two R9 290's. W0AH.

 

go for 750W or 850W, that'll do just fine.

so would i also need those 2 fans , and whats your opinion on getting the i7 4790k cpu instead of the i5 4690k

Yes, you're going to want as much airflow as possible to get all that heat out of your case. 

 

As for i7 vs i5, the i7 will do nothing in terms of gaming, but if you want to do stuff like streaming then the i7 will help out. It comes down to what you'll be using your computer for.

I still think my build is better, but if you refuse to switch to the sapphire gpu's then yes.

Don't skip out on audio,audio quest dragonfly and audio engine d1 are very good dac for the money.Otherwise internal dac in your motherboard is still enough,just saying because it is common with people with good pc specs to skip out on audio as Linus often says.

im sorry one last thing i forgot to mention, im going to be gaming on a 1080p monitor and switching to 4k in a year or less , but at the same time i will play with highest textures is 2 290's over killl right now or is it just perfect , i heard 3 290's go best with 4k

A single 290 will be able to play most if not all 1080p games on ultra. 

 

at 4k crossfire will get you somewhere around 40-60fps on ultra depending on the game.
