I recently decided to build a custom PC. Turns out I don't 100%  know everything I need to know about to build a PC. So far I have bought a NZXT Phantom 410 case, and an MSI B85-G41 motherbored. And I have a pretty strict buget at about 2000 including the case and mother bored, I wanted to have a triple monitor setup. What do I do??? Someone help me. Thanks.

Thanks so much for the help!

750w is a little low for r9 290 crossfire. The 850 or 1000w model of that power supply should be used instead

i7 4770k currently @ stock | 2x Sapphire r9 290 Tri-x in crossfire | 16 GB GSkill trident X @ 2400 Mhz | Asus z87 Sabertooth | NZXT h440 | NZXT Kraken x60 | Corsair RM1000 | BenQ XL2420TE
