Hey so I was thinking of getting crossfire r9 290x these are the parts that i have picked out so far

Power Supply: Corsair cx750m
CPU: Intel I4770k
SSD: Samsung Evo 250gb

so would 2 r90 290x fit ? And what type of mobo and ram should i get? Please help

Not with a Corsair CX. You want something that's much higher quality. I'd be inclined to actually shy away from the R9-290X because of the heating and overclocking issues associated with it. Get a single GTX 780TI instead, you won't be disappointed.

Here is what I would do:

That's fine. Most RAM comes off the same assembly line in Taiwan anyways, the only real differences are the heat sinks included.
