First gaming build $600-$700 needs tips

[cradelikz]

Hi, this is my first post here in TH and I've always been a fan of the expert answers this community has. Now my inquiry.

I am planning on making a gaming rig for around 600 to 700 dlls in mind and I pretty much have decided in everything but there are still some things I need to define.
For exmple if I were better off with another component, case, cpu, etc.

The parts:
Cpu: Intel i5 4670k or just the plain 4670.
Mobo: ASRock z87 fatal1ty killer (cuz it has 1150 and lots of usb 3.0)
Case: Fractal define r4 silent (still not sure if white or black)
Psu: Corsair CX750m (still not sure about it).
Ram: Gskill sniper 8gb pc3 14900.
Cooling: Cooler master Hyper 212 evo (still have doubts on the size and airflow though).
HDD: Kingston HyperX 120gb ssd. Might throw in a WD Black if I save enough).
GPU: Asus R7 260x (don't know if I should skip it and directly go into the R9 290x, I plan on doing Crossfire one day though but not soon).

Well, that is the build. The plan is to purchase though eBay and Newegg, I hope you guys can give me your best tips. Thanks.

Jump from 260x to 290x is a big jump.
But if you want to do some serious gaming then 290x is the choice.
Go for Samsung 840 evo ssd.
They are the best.Gives you better read and write speed.
Corsair cx series is not that good.Go for seasonic or corsair except their cx seires.
Cooler is good.If you intend to do overclocking then get the k version of the cpu.
Moo is good.
Psu in terms of wattage is good for r9 280x but if you will do crossfire then a minimum of 850 watt or 1000 watt as you will also be doing overclocking.

Thanks. Sorry with gpus I meant tops R9 270x. Which I am very inclined towards the Toxic one but I am not sure if it will fit, I ve read that it is huge. For the psu maybe a Corsair HX or an EVGA Supernova?
