Hello i have completed planing my build and i am ready to go and order all the parts.
I would like some feedback. If something is wrong/not compatible/better choices.

CPU:    Intel i5-4670k

MOBO: AsRock Z87 Extreme4

GPU:    Gigabyte Radeon R9 290, 4GB Windforce

RAM:    Crucial (Ballistix) 8GB 1600Mhz CL9
HDD:    Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
PSU:    Corsair CX600W
CASE:  NZXT Tempest 210
 

I will not be overclocking yet, but i plan to in the future, so i'll add an aftermarket cpu cooler when the time comes.
Also i plan adding an SSD in the future

The monitor i will be using is a QNIX 27" Evolution II 2560x1440.
-Thanks in advance! :)

It'll work fine. I would question the choice of a Korean 1440 monitor when the PB278Q by ASUS just went on sale for like 489$ on Amazon.

SSD should be a thing that you should add now, not later, because you are going to install the OS on it, and you must know that reinstall the OS is a pain + having a partion of your HDD that you used to install OS in will be sitting there doing nothing when you install the OS on a SSD~

If that monitor is like a couple of the qnix monitors I've seen reviewed(huge uniformity issues) I would just wait to get a monitor from the likes of acer, asus, or dell
