is this build okay?

Go to solution Solved by 79wjd,
I'd change a couple things: 
(assuming you might add a second gpu later on, otherwise you can go with a cheaper PSU -- such as an EVGA B1 500w). 
Also, if you're willing to break your black/blue build a bit, you can get an MSI TF R9 290 for 220 euros~.
