    Any feedback is welcome. And if there are any tips about some parts giving me more bang for the buck, of course I'd be willing to consider those options. Also, I'm from the EU and the budget is around 1000-1100 €. Before you ask, yes, the build above is in that price range in my country even though 1131 $ convert to way less. I'm from Finland and these are the stores I'd most likely be using:

    Thanks in advance.

    You can try to fit me in a box, only to see me burst out of it.

    Build seems ok, but if you had just said which country you were it would make it easier to see if you can get more for your budget. If there is any shop(s) you are specifically buying from, link those too.

    Thats the only way i could fit the R9 290 in there.
    -Went for cheaper cpu cooler
    -Mobo same quality, if not better (cause sound)
    -Ram no difference, its all the same nowadays
    -ssd-hdd, similar
    -Reliable 550W are enough for this rig, it has like 100W extra of what it needs with everything at full load
    -Corsair 200R is very, very overpriced over there. 80euros for it is not worth it, its supposed to be a cheap good solution and at that price, well it aint worth it. The one i propose is cheaper and better at the same time.

    Lastly, i used one of the 3 sites, so you might be able to save if you look on all 3 for each part, good luck
