I spent $450 on a Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X, just before the entire R9 series dropped in price drastically. If I had known there was going to be as big of a price discount on the 295x2, I would have waited for it. The R9 295x2 is still the best dual-card setup for 4k gaming. Considering that a single 980 starts at $550, paying $730 for 2 290x's with a closed-loop water cooling system that keeps it cooler than 980 sli is actually quite impressive.
It will be interesting to see how relevant this card remains when the R9 300 series comes out next year.
