Is it possible to Crossfire 2 MSi R9-290OC Twin Frozer?

Is it possible or should i just buy a new NVIDIA GTX 980Ti? I already got one MSI R9-290OC and i play on 1080p.

Of course its possible, but you would need a new power supply.

Yes, it's possible but be sure that:
The case has plenty of airflow to get rid of the heat (looks like that's covered)
The power supply can feed them.
They will fit inside the case.
The motherboard places them far enough apart.

How much is the GTX780Ti?

And why a 780 ti? In the US (not sure abt other countries) the much more powerful 980 ti is cheaper than the 780 ti.

Unless you plan to get a used 780 ti.

Would a SeaSonic Platinum SS-860XP2 860W be an ok PSU? I got it a while back.

The Seasonic Should be fine for either configuration.
Cost wise going CF is cheaper but like any multi GPU setup will have scaling issues in addition to the big power/heat output of dual R9 290s; Not every game uses CF to its best effect and in some cases you'll be better off turning it off altogether but when it works two R9 290s are a devastatingly powerful pairing.
A point: Monitor res/speed; Either configuration will really need either a 120+Hz 1080 display or a full Gsync or Freesync monitor to make the upgrade truly worthwhile, if you're on a single 1080 60Hz display, you'll get very little overall benefit from either GPU upgrade.
