Any suggestions for a monitor? I would like it to be under $300.

Looks fine by me but don't forgot to get a cpu cooler, something like a Coolermaster Hyper would do fine.

I see you went ahead and added another 290x you might want a 1200w or 1300w though just to be safe and I gave you 1333 ram by accident get the cheapest 1600

 

2 of these will serve you fine http://pcpartpicker.com/part/lg-monitor-23mp55hqp

This is excellent however just spending an extra $70 on a WD Black 2TB HDD is useless. No difference between Barracuda's WD Blue's and Blacks. Just get the 2TB Barracuda, will save you $70.

Swap the psu to the EVGA Supernova G2 750W.

And get the cheaper version of Windows 8.1

Also as mentioned above, WD Black drives are not worth the extra money.
