Good build. :)  Throw in a small SSD for OS later and you have a beast of a system .

Something to consider

For the same price you listed:
1. Much faster GPU, the most important part of a gaming system.
2. Added an SSD. Optional. They are great for game load times but do nothing for FPS. I do love having them personally, and at your budget level you can fit one in easily.
3. Changed the case. The one you had doesn't fit tall CPU coolers. Even if you don't plan to install one right away, nice to have the option
4. Added the cpu cooler. They aren't fun to install later down the road. May as well install it as you are building the system, even if you don't plan to OC right away.
5. Changed the motherboard from MSI to Asrock. Personal preference. Prefer Asus or Asrock over MSI.

That's maybe in your country, but in my that build costs 1750$. I checked the prices. I was even going for cheapest possible options. And as you can see I dont even have R9 290, SSD, 100$ Corsair case, CPU cooler, operating system and your MOBO. As I said its preety expensive around here.

1. Im playing on 1650x1050 so GTX760 is for me good enough. Maybe I could spen a little bit more and get GTX770. (1300$)
2. Cant realy afford SSD right away, maybe in future. SSD's are preety darn expesive. 120GB costs 130$.
3. I agree with the case. I could buy probably a bit better one but again corsair is expesive so thats why I chose this one. It has all I need and its afordable.
4. Yea, im thinking of adding 212 in my build.
5. I think MSI motherboards are reliable and this one is kinda cheap and it has all I need (USB3, sata3, 2xPCIe slots so i can buy another 760)

Ouch, that's quite a markup! What country are you in out of curiosity? Sorry for the misunderstanding, I thought your budget was U.S. dollars (and I'm not even American lol).

Im from Croatia, parts are expensive here. Thats the price when I convert my courency to USD

Thermaltake Commander MS-III. What you think about this case ?

Looks like a nice case if the price is nice and cheap. Just make a note that it has a CPU cooler height limitation of 155mm (The hyper 212 evo cooler is 159mm as an example) and a VGA length limitation of 320mm (lots of room for big cards actually). That MSI GTX760 Gaming you listed will fit.

Can you recommned a case with simmilar price and with some pre-installed fans that can fit hyper 212 ?

Can you link me the website you shop from? The Corsair 200R for example is very cheap in the US, but I'm not sure how it is in your country.
