I choose 750 PSU so that you can add another R9 270x in future.

I suggest to get FX 8350 if you more money

+1; you can't really get cheap for the OS and it limits your budget in a way.

There is that software swap thing on Reddit where you can buy an OS really cheap, but there's always a chance you can get scammed. Mind you, I got MS Office on there for $10 and it's totally legal.
 

A single R9 290 would outperform 2x 270X cards though.
