If you're not doing eyefinity I would go for a single 290x instead. By buying two cards at once, you're effectively pidgeon holing yourself into a non-upgradable graphics solution without a complete overhaul. With a 290x you can buy another in 2 years or so when they're dirt cheap. 

 

Everything else looks good.

yeah i thought about that but the prices is just a little too much, im kinda sick of waiting and i like how x-fire set ups look.

Possibly a Corsair C70, Fractal Design Arc Midi R2, Fractal Design R4, or Corsair 350D if you want to go to Micro ATX.

I'd get diffirent GPUs because those are ugly (Blue PCB, again!), the MSI Lightning/Hawk would look best here, I can't tell the price, however the Vapor X isn't the cheapest out there so it surely won't be much more expensive.
