Yes your build is excellent I assume you got the 850W so you can crossfire R9 290 in the future.

I think it is fine as it is but if you want more improvements, it will cost a lot more for a diminishing return though. If purely gaming, i5 is enough but an i7 is something to consider especially if video editing or streaming.

The R9 290 is excellent at 1080p and 1440p. At crossfire, consider 4k monitors (but look carefully for 60Hertz 4k monitors)
