Another option as well as the above

Still get 290X, i5 (which isn't too far off the 4690k) and a nice SSD + HDD combo

Stock cooler should be fine for this CPU too

Above looks like pants to me


Here is with an overclockable CPU, case with three fans and speed controllers and sound dampening and hopefully the SSD is big enough for the time being,

That case does not have sufficient cooling for a 290X.

That case does not have sufficient cooling for a 290X.

Would have thought 2x120mm would be enough for a 290X, but another fan or two can be added for a few quid!

Its wrong and it says three fans the euro case has one fan, the unboxing videos show one fan and OcUk change the product description to one fan after it was pointed out.
