Building new gaming desktop.

If there are any improvements you can make with the same price or even cheaper then please do link. I know the case and all are quite big but I don't mind one bit if the components are a bit big.

How about that instead?

The board is cheaper and still feature rich.

Quad channel fast RAM

GFX with aftermarket cooler as the R9 290 stock coolers are a bit loud.
