Will this build be able to play games on Med-High for the next 6-7 years?

So I am planning on building a PC and currently this is what I've narrowed down the parts to-

GPU- Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R9 290 TRI-X OC 4 GB DDR5
CPU- AMD FX 8350 Black Edition
Mobo- Asrock H97 Anniversary Mobo
Storage- Western Digital 1TB
RAM- GSkill Ripjaws X 8GB Ram stick
PSU- Not sure. Would appreciate if someone could let me know what my power requirement will be like
Case- Cooler Master K21 Mid Tower

Currently that is what I have in mind. I would like to know if this is a decent build for the price and if there are any better parts for the same price.

Well, the most important problem with this is that your CPU won't fit in your motherboard.

That's an mobo for intel CPU with 1150 socket. The AMD cpu meant for AM3+ socket won't fit.

If you are getting an R9-290 you want to go with the i5-4690K or even a i7-4790K.

You are better off listing your budget and looking or system suggestions in the systems part of the forums. You can do a search based on how much you can spend and get quite a bit of suggestions.

First off that other poster is correct you listed a intel mother board with a AMD CPU. You can try the Gigabyte 990 fxa ud3 which has dropped in price substantially it $100 rite now. When you build there is no such thing as future proofing but you can build a rig that fare well over time. This why I suggest investing in 290x its only like $50 extra bucks but it has an increased processing power over the 290.
AM I reading that rite 8GB ram stick you did not get the kit. Try going with the kit that way you get dual channel read and writes to memory.
I know system requirements kuz I have one 290 is and 290x is the same 750 WATT . SO 800 WATT or above if you are not doing OC that would be ok

And I would Like any body to show me a graphics card from 2011 or 2010 that runs any modern game at high fluidly. Name one please
