Here is my attempt to squeeze in Crossfire 290s. I've made some assumptions:
- You won't be overclocking the CPU, though I've included a Z97 board for the improved memory performance and audio stuff
- Your work will have a spare Windows licence
- Likewise keyboard and mouse

If you didn't want cross-fire I'd swap-out the 290s for a 780ti. Also, does the budget include VAT? Presumably the company won't have to pay it.
