No budget and you're buying a piece of crap Raidmax case? Absolutely not. I cannot emphasize enough how much Raidmax sucks. Avoid them like the plague. You definitely need a bigger tower if you want a 690 - most mid towers won't be able to handle the length. On a gaming rig X79 is complete overkill and you'd be wise to avoid EVGA motherboards - there's better ones you can get on the market. They make fine GPUs but their motherboards are shall we say sub par.

If you want to do this rig right here's what you get:
