Looks good, but if you ever want to crossfire your 290 you'll need a bigger power supply. Otherwise you won't need a higher wattage power supply.

 

Rid of SSD, Better G-Card

idk your budget so I cant judge completely on whether it looks completely good or not but in terms of performance the PC will give you, this is can excellent build. The CPU and the SSD caught my attention though. Intel SSDs from couple days ago are much cheaper than the Samsungs and are just as reliable if not even better, and if a cheaper SSD can be found, the money can push over into a K series i5

 

(Btw, if you dont have a HDD already lying around, get rid of the SSD)
