Would this be good for HEAVY gaming? (Every next gen game on ultra)
 
Solution
Yes, it will run every game on ultra 1080P or even 1440P, although some of the hardware choices are questionable:
1. Motherboard is fairly low end compared to the rest of the components
2. There are comparable/better air coolers for the same/lower price than that AIO, in particular the Cooler Master 212 Evo.
3. PSU is massively overkill - 750W would be enough for an OC'd 290X and i7.
4. Again, looking at the rest of the components, I would want a larger capacity SSD, perhaps even as a trade off for a lower capacity HDD.
5. The usefulness of sound cards is questionable, unless you have extremely high end headphones
6. An i5 would make much more sense from a bang-for-your-buck perspective - you are only going to gain FPS in the single...
this would be good. i personally would suggest a 970/980 card over the 290x. you could actually save money by going with an i5, since the 4790k doesnt benefit gaming. the money you save by going with the i5 would get you the extra money for the 970/980.

also, im not sure about the quality for that psu, but if you arent going to go with multiple GPU's, you could save money there by going with a lower wattage PSU.
