This is quite an expensive build just curious if I could get some tip or pointers on the build to cheapen it up without losing much power. My goal is to be able to play any game with 60+ frames on highest settings.

This will kill your build performance wise while still being cheaper:

Good lord, where did you find a R9 290X for $650?

This build will perform almost identically:

I really like that build vex thanks! You're sure this will run any game on max settings?

Yes, absolutely.
