What resolution are you gaming at? R9 290s in crossfire would be three or four times stronger than a 780 TI

If you take a look at benchmarks here there is basically nothing between a R9 290 and a 780 TI. I think eyefinity with AMD is better.

R9 290's are the best bang for buck cards currently out
