Hello as I have limited budget so i would like to have your opinions for selecting components for my system.
I would like to go for:
1- Motherboard: MSI Computer Corp. ATX DDR3 | ASUS Z297-A | Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3. Please tell me which one is good as later i would be running core i5 4th or amd 8350 fx processor

2- ASUS R9270-DC2OC-2GD5 Radeon R9 270 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card

3- Also please recommend which liquid cooler will be compatible with these because Corsair H100i liquid cooler is not compatible with ASUS Z297-A

4- Which Casing should I go for ?

5- Which RAM should I select & power supply?

Would be waiting for your great replies
thanks,
 
The H100i is compatible with the ASUS Z97-A. However the Cooler Master Nepton 240M is better.
You can go with a air cooler like the Enermax ETS-T40 to save cost but will perform well.
There is a Gigabyte R9 270X available for about the same price as the ASUS R9 270 and will perform better.
I didn't include a hardrive, if that should be in the build as well we'll have to cut costs here and there.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($219.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 240M 86.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($74.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($119.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($54.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card ($137.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Thermaltake Versa H34 ATX Mid Tower Case ($59.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $687.93
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

thank you soo much your information was very helpful.. And one more think ASUS motherboard is better then these MSI Computer Corp. ATX DDR3 | ASUS Z297-A | Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3 ? And for the graphic card regarding Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card reviews weren't as fruitful as ASUS R9 270
 
The ASUS one has more features and has a better quality. If you wanna safe costs, you can get a lower end motherboard.
The R9 270X is better than the R9 270, I think you're confused.
