That card is overkill probably, but I see no reason to pay $560. If you really want the 290, take a look at the Gigabyte windforce, $110 cheaper.

The PSU is crap, 750 W and it doesn't have enough PCI express connectors. Which means it is not SLI or crossfire certified. For 750W, that's completely unsatisfactory.
Also I never settle for less than a 5 year warranty. So take some money from the overpriced video card and get some clean power for your rig:

The rest looks pretty good but I suggest getting 16 gigs of ram.


it is enough it is pretty much the top gaming cpu you can buy read this for good insight into what good gaming cpus are http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106.html
and you will see it is at the top of the list and only better ones that come after it are with very high diminishing returns that make no sense to pay a premium over.
