This is the build I got for you, if you dont plan to overclock NOW, I can switch the CPU/CPU cooler out for something cheaper and not overclockable to save some money. I dont know what OS you want and stuff so feel free to use this and change it or tell me what you want different and I'll look at it.

While this isn't a bad build, the deal breaker is the PSU. Corsair CX series aren't the best and are OK for entry level builds. I would not recommend a CX power supply for a build designed for overclocking or one that houses a r9 290. A r9 290 can push the 300 watts mark. The CX series has been know to pop capacitors when overloaded. Bad combination there.

The point is to make a budget build, either way it's not going to be a top of the line PC.

Budgets are usually the driving force for a build. However, the key aspect is to not sacrifice quality regardless of the budget. For $750, overclocking and SLI aren't really in the budget.
