You're going to put a reference R9 290 (aka the volcano of death) in a relatively airflow restricted case? I recommend you reconsider this.

 

Either by getting a R9 290 with a better cooler, a different case or both.

1: Z97 is a waste of money if you have a non k cpu, go H97 instead. 

2: Get an i5 4590 instead of the 4570, it peforms better at roughly the same price.

3: If you go with a R9 290, don't get the one with the stock cooler, instead get one with an aftermarket one. (Like MSI's Twin Frozr IV, Asus' Direct CUII, or Sapphires TRI-X/Vapor-X)

Bro, THIS is how you should buy it. You could go with a lower price by sticking to the 290, but the 970 is stronger and cooler.
