One possible bottleneck for this that I found is that the 285's only have 2 gigs of vram... If I wanted too I could swap them out for a single 780, would that be a better deal?

Why don't you replace the crossfire with a single 970? It will have more VRAM too.

you can also look at evga b stock for really cheap graphics cards. 970 for 275 if I'm not mistaken.

yeah I Might do that but will a 970 outdo a 290 watercooled by that much?
