Not cheap ..... but then 2 x R9 290x are not give-a-ways either. So they have been reasonable on pricing considering what it is, plus a slight premium for top card. I would expect it to drop some in 6 months or so, however there is no competition for this card, so price reductions will be slow to come along.
You'll need a big case, be very careful about mid range cases, maybe one or two * could * do the job, but that will be rare. This is for full tower cases, be under no illusion.
Power consumption, heat and speed are all in the ball park of 2x R9 290x beasts. In all, that its a remarkably tamed beastie - impressive.
If you have a Tower Case, 850w PSU, 1 x R9 295x2 and circa £900, that gets you into the Promised Land
If you have a Full Tower Case, a min 1250w PSU (preferably a little bigger), and circa £1800 to spare for two x R9 295x2, go for it and enter Gaming Heaven for years to come
The beat moves on ......
