So this is my first build, I already bought everything, now I'm just waiting till everything gets here. I bought most of the components on sale so I also got a 1440p Qnix monitor and everything came up to about $1,600.

So, what do you guys think? I was thinking about later on getting another 290 for crossfire, hence the 1000W psu.

It will be a good build. Things I would have done differently:

i5 not i7 because its for gaming.
Use saved money to get 290x not 290.
212 EVO not 212 Plus
Samsung evo SSD
850w PSU (1000w is SUPER overkill for this whole system OC'd with two 290x's let alone 290s)
Mid-tower case, Full towers are HUGE and loud and generally very unnecessary for a build like this.

It will be a very capable build though. Everything is very high quality.
