It has only 2 USB 3.0 ports on back, you can install at least 5 HDDs on it, however concerning the build I've realised the fx 6300 will bottleneck your r9 290, to upgrade to an fx 8350 and an 990fx mobo will be costly:

So if you can't afford it drop the GPU down to an r9 280x like this one: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/his-video-card-h280xqmt3g2m
