I could've fit a R9 290x in there for slightly over $1000, but 290x is overkill for 1080p gaming. If you want a R9 290x instead, switch out the Xeon for an i5 4460 or something like that. Or keep the 290 and just save some money and only lose a few fps from the CPU downgrade to an i5. Btw, it's about $20 cheaper if you don't buy from only Newegg and NCIX.
