1000-1400$ gaming build

[Gibran51]

I am going to be building a gaming PC this December and i am not sure if my current build is well balanced or not.

This is the first build that i put together.

I have no idea what PSU i am going to need for it, it would be helpful one could be suggested for this build.
No optical drive, monitor, keyboard or mouse is needed since i already have these.
I am willing to use any parts from reputable manufacturers.
Newegg and amazon are my prefferred retailers.
My current monitor has a resolution of 1440x900.
Next year i will upgrade my monitor to 1900x1200.

will be more than enought. the 290x arent worth it at the moment and are having big heat issues, u actually need to buy an aftermarket cooler to keep it cool down, so id stay away from them until they fix that issue. 280x is quite good.

Need at least a 600 w/ 33 AMPs on the 12 volt rail(s) (the Seasonic is a 620, I always like a little extra

Better cooler, but might be overkill. I'd at least upgrade to the Hyper 212 Evo if nothing better. I like this motherboard at this price. The above 2133mhz Ram is fast, except for the CAS 11 latency. I'd rather get 1866mhz with a CAS 9. Better SSD, and cheaper standard 1tb HDD. I like the speed of this 280x more, for only a little bit extra cost. The PSU is debatable, you get gold efficiency from the same manufacturer, but 100w less. Either one is great though.
