Does this look good?

This system is meant to be upgraded. I have $800 {us}, and i want a good performing pc now without hurting future expand-ability options, but what are your thoughts on the build here is the link    http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jH7X3C

 

In the future i am expecting to put a i5 cpu and a better graphic card r9 290-gtx 970 or the best thing that i can get at that time, thus the reason i want more future expand-ability.

I actually would say that it's a solid build, taking into consideration your plans for the future.

Nice job, good amount of power for a good price.

it looks good now with the RAM you have you will not run in dual channel which is not too big of a problem but a 2x4GB is about the same price as a 1x8GB so you might as well get a dual channel kit

good build however, switch to windows 8, cause you will get windows 10 later.

 

and you will want to add a cooler like the coolermaster 212 evo for overclocking

 

and i dont think that a 290/970 upgrade would be worth it form a 280, especially if you overclock it

It's quite expensive, let me see what I can do for the price.

Increased the price slightly. But I've added a CPU cooler for the G3258 for the ability to comfortably overclock. I added a better PSU for your future prospects, it's a really good price too. Changed the monitor to something 1c more but with 1 lower response time, and equitable exchange I think. Three extra case fans for the 200r. Cheaper R9 280. Cheaper and faster RAM. Cheaper mobo but lost no features in the swap.
