To all the PC building masterminds out there,

I've heard that the R9 series seems to be performing quite amazingly in gaming. I wanna know the best combination with the Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri - X OC and the Intel i5 4590 (this is what I can get for my budget) processor to get the best performance out of the two and no incompatibilities.
I've researched on this, but I can't really find what works with what and so on. (I'm new to Building) I'm on a budget of (AUD)$1200 (In USD it's $1035) for the build EXCLUDING the peripherals and hardware like the monitor. If you think it's a better addition than the HDD for the build, a 120GB SSD will be enough as I'll add a HDD later. (I don't WANT it, as a HDD will be great as well. I can add an SSD later) Try more performance than Storage. :D
-Please do add a better processor if there's enough $$ left. (Intel only please)
