Is this a good gaming rig?

[Ce3in]

So I've decided to throw money for a new computer that will (hopefully) be able to game pretty well


CPU: Intel i7 4790k Devil's crayon

GPU: Sapphire Radeon TRI-X R9 290 4GB ''OC''

Motherboard: MSI Z97 GAMING 5, socket 1150

RAM: Corsair Vengeance PRO DDR3 2400MHz 16 GB (2x8 GB)

PSU: Corsair CX 750M, 750W PSU

CPU liquid cooler: Corsair H100i Hydro Series


Total cost is $1573 U.S dollars or €1157 or £916


Are those parts good?

I would change one thing, The Power Supply. Get one from either XFX EVGA Seasonic or Corsairs AX line because the CX series uses Chinese Capacitors

The i7, especially the "Devil's Canyon" overclockable i7, is absolute overkill in most gaming applications. If you're going for extreme future-proofing, fine, but an i5 4670k is perfectly capable even of some more "hardcore" gaming.

And that aswell, I have an i5 and it is great for everything I do, you should get along just fine with an i5 Ce3in. The money you save by switching to an i5 might let you get a GTX 780 or even an R9 290x
