looks like a very nice build except for 1 thing, memory, You would definitely want to change that to something with a better CAS latency. for a similar price I found this for you: Corsair Vengeance if that it to big for any of the parts you might be adding there is some Smaller stuff here: Corsair Vengeance LP(Low Profile)

he is getting a 290 not a 290X which has considerably less issues and he is getting a gpu cooler to address heat issues. doesn't need 850W for that system although I agree his mobo could be better

ok cool, +respect for not being a BF4 addicted kid. The 290 will give you better performance particularly on higher res monitors but the 280 will still give you perfect performance although the 280 also has heat issues
