No way ! R9 280X -$230 x2 = $460
CPU - $ 100+, mobo -$100+ , RAM- $80
up to here = $740+

What do you exactly need ?

I'll put together a suggestion, though I'm pretty sure it will look something like THIS:

a) i5-4xxx CPU
b) 1150 motherboard (possibly Z97)
c) 16GB DDR3
etc.

I'm going to make a list using pcpartpicker and post that below...

You can change whatever you want, though I recommend keeping the CPU, 16GB DDR3, and this motherboard. Dropping the SSD brings you down to about $650 (before MIR, tax) but it's really nice to have that for system responsiveness as well as making periodic backup IMAGES using WD Acronis True Image Free or Seagate DiscWizard (same program). So make a backup of the SSD and store on the hard drive in case of problems. Update periodically.

For quick reference (minus the PSU, OS, and graphics cards) here's the parts in my link:

i5-4690K
CM Hyper 212 Plus cooler (EVO almost exactly the same)
Asus Z97-A motherboard (good quality, Crossfire and SLI capable)
16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
120GB SSD
1TB HDD (may wish to consider 2TB instead)
Corsair 200R case (may want a different case. If so, ensure cards fit, has at least one good case fan if needed)
DVD burner
