Hello everyone. I'am gonna buy a new gaming soon as fast the aftermarked coolers comes on R9 290X. I've been thinking on a system like this. Anything I should change?

Case: Corsair 750D
CPU: INTEL Intel® Core i7-4770K
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 evo
MOBO: ASUS MK Z87-A
SSD: Samsung 250gb evo
HDD: Seagate barracuda 1TB
PSU: COOLERMASTER 1000W PSU Silent Pro
RAM: KINGSTON DDR3 HyperX Red 1600MHz 16GB 2 x 8GB
2x Gigabyte/Asus Radeon R9 290X 4GB BF4 bundle

They all look good to me, individual items could be changed but no need to when quality components are already chosen. Just make sure the ram you select is 1.5volt not 1.65volt both versions available in the RED from K.

Why? Will the MOBO give me more performance?

Not at stock levels but the board matters when it comes to CPU overclocking to maximize the return from the massive GPU solution.

Well, with hyper 212 evo I can't overclock more then 4,4ghz. And how much more performance are we talking about? I don't wanna spend 75 dollars more for 1-2 more fps.

What type of monitor setup do you have? Since 2 x 290X is pretty monstrous and spending $1100 on GPU's calls for large resolutions and normally no budget concerns.
You do not have to spend the money since the selected board works for a mild overclock, I can only advise what I would do.

I will play on 5760x1080p. But how does the whole system looks? Will the components work great together? Or is it something I need to change?
