Haha I really like how you managed to squeeze in a R9 290 for only $500 dollars. Unfortunately, this computer is going to need 8 GB's of RAM. I forgot what I was doing. But one time Windows 8.1 actually forcibly shut down a program I was about to open up saying I didn't have enough RAM for it. Which I found really weird. 

cant u spent 30$ more??
