You'll want to add a better heatsink later on for overclocking. Something like a Hyper 212 EVO. Of course this is assuming you can fit that 290 into your case. What is the specific case you have?
Anyways, the i5-4690k + Z97 platform has come so far down in price that it's definitely worth it now to get one of the top gaming CPUs. The R9 290 is a monstrous GPU. The XFX power supply is an excellent Seasonic rebrand.
