This is what I could come up with for $1200. Had to take a more expensive CPU cooler (H80i) to remain within that black color scheme, 212 is good but ugly :P.

Just one, what PSU would you recommend if say I buy an addition R9 290 or 770 to go in crossfire/SLI. 

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20850xr - It's a fantastic PSU with 10 year warranty.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Get a CS550M instead of the CX600M. CS is a bit better than CX and you do not need 600W.

Get Sapphire R9 290 Tri-x as opposed to GTX 770. Same price but more performance. 

As for the memory you can do better. Give me your budget and location and I will make you a pcpartpicker build.

The R9 290 Tri-X costs a lot more than a GTX 770.

Usually depends on country. Here in the netherlands I can get R9 290 cheaper than a GTX 770. Also I never said it was cheaper. Some brands are about the same price.

On partpicker UK the cheapest GTX 770 is £227. The cheapest R9 290 is £279. The Tri-X is £284. If you can get a 290 for the same price as a 770 then it is definitely a good buy.
