running dual 280X in a small case is asking for trouble

 

and the power draw will be high when you OC your GPUs

 

and the 300 series AMD Cards are on the way

 

if you still want to go AMD

 

go for a single 290X and get a bigger case

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

If you want a fire, sure.

 

I second AlwaysFSX's comment; get a single 970 and upgrade later.

970 SLI is ~$100 more expensive than the CF 280X, but much more worth it IMO
