Hi guys, my PSU is looking at a replacement and while i am at i will bump up the size of it. I am aiming at another R9 290X to join the other and cross it, will the ax860/i be enough? Or should i go higher?

I think an 860 would be running it close, I'd opt for a kilowatt model.

Not familiar with which brand/model# would be best at that size, I tend to stick to suggesting Seasonic/XFX because they don't have mediocre models in their current ranges

EVGA SuperNova G2.
1000W would be plenty even with a monster OC.
