That cooler I take it isn't in the price. Looks OK but the GPU will be bottlenecking. I suggest saving about $140 with a good rx470.

It means the 290 will suffer lower fps due to the CPU cant keep up. Highest I would go on the AMD FX is 470 which is due mostly to cost. The rx470 is pretty fast as it faster than the old 380x but just a bit slower than the 290. The FX will also bottleneck the rx470 but price wise its worth the performance. The fact is the rx470 is only about 10% slower than the 290 for half the price.
