While that is indeed a cool setup that many people overlook, it is fast becoming outdated, particularly with the increasing demands of newly released games and their sloppy optimization.
Really, if a person needs a gpu right now and doesn't have a ton of money to spend, I honestly can't think of better performance per dollar than the GTX 970. It gets roughly the same performance as an R9 290x reference, yet has a lower TDP and costs slightly cheaper, starting at around $330.
If you can wait and do have money, just wait for the R9 380X which will likely go head to head with the GTX 990.
