Is my entire setup compatible?

[Evan Troxel]

I am building a computer and was curious if everything I have here is compatible with one another? If you could take a look at the links I have provided and tell me if it is likely something is going to encounter an issue with compatibility that would be great. Also, will the mobo I selected support crossfire r9 290x's in the pcie 3.0 16x slots? thank you!

The build is compatible with a crossfire R9 290X.

The build is 100% compatible , just make sure you get a decent case for those 2 - 290x's.

Your build will work.
I have three suggestions:
1. Wait for 6/25 when the i7-4790K becomes available. It is better at the same price.
2. With this budget, buy a 16gb kit of 2 x 8gb up front.
3. If you have not done so, build with a 240gb ssd for the "C" drive.

Thanks! Is the 4790k really that much better? I was hoping to order it before the 15th so I get the fathers day discount. Also, is 16gb really gonna make a difference compared to 8? Thank you.

Not really that much better.
The stock multiplier is raised from 35 to 40.
But, with a conservative oc, you can get that 40 anyway. The 4790K will have better thermals making for a potentially higher oc.
You would be equally satisfied if a discount is available to you that would make a difference.

Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards can be very sensitive to this.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.
Although, I think the problem has lessened with the newer Intel chipsets. Still,
it is safer to get what you need in one kit.
