I bought a GTX780, I also run dual 2560x1440 displays. My VRAM usage idles around 2 - 5%, which is like 60 - 150MB. I usually don't exactly idle though, so it sits around 25 - 30%, it depends what I'm doing, I usually leave a bunch of crap open that I don't need.
I'll probably still go for a 270x as i'd like to keep the price as low as possible. Besides, i'll most likely be using only a single 1080p display so crossfire isnt really necessary.

Of course, you'd know that if you were actually smart.
Just attach everything to the mobo and if you're still having trouble just youtube or google it
