Gaming PC Advise

[xeored]

I'm building a gaming pc for the first time, I've choosen an couple of parts so far,

 

Sapphire Radeon TRI-X R9 290 4GB OC

Intel i5-4690k

Asus Z97-A

 

I'm going to use my PC for mostly gaming but I would like to be able to render animations on it too.

In the future I'm going to upgrade to GTX 780ti and another monitor. I've got a friend with some spare parts so the power supply and disc drive I'll get a bit cheaper. But I'm planning to spend around 1000-1200$ on this computer so it would mean alot to get a bit of help. I am going to develop some games with my friend that has a nvidia card and I've heard that it's easier to work on the same platform, so should i change the R9 290 to something else?

Change to a 4690k. a 780TI wont be much better than a 290, just crossfire it, your mobo has support for it. 

 

Also, use PCPARTPICKER for buying these parts, you can find the cheapest prices on them, saving you a couple hundred.
