yes your system is strong .....but you should add an aftermarket cooler like coolermaster hyper 212 evo for your processor stock cooler are not good in controlling heat at high temps when your cpu is at maximum load..
750 watt psu is an overkill for your system 280x requires 30 amps at 12+ volt so a 550 psu would be enough but though u are planning to crossfire in future i will recommend u to buy a 80 plus gold rated 850watt psu......recommended brand seasonic,xfx,crosair rm/tx series not the cx or vs one pls and evga.....

Your system is strong. Don't take this as an offense, but would you be able to spend a little bit more and upgrade to an AMD 290x or maybe a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 or 780.

I hope this helps mate.

Are you are adding a second 280x later or a second monitor? Cooler master PSUs can be bad or good so check expert (not user) reviews before you buy one.

If you are getting Z97 why not to take also i7-4790k price difference is minimal for 500 MHz extra base clock and better temperatures?

i ve have a tight budget if i didn nt i would go with 290x and 4790k and im planning to add another 280x
also i have the option to get 290x second hand
or xfx Radeon HD 7990 second hand at 550$(i would have to get RAM and HDD later) and also i can get 290X Lighting at 550$ too(im pretty sure it does nt have any defects)

Well depends on your shop, try to check prices of 4790k. I see that on pcpricepicker is difference 30$ in favor of 4770k but for example in store in my country 4790k is actually 4 euros cheaper so for me it was easy choice. Maybe you can find it with similar pricing.
