A few things.

This looks like a configurator. Don't do it. Buy cheap and build it on your own or let someone help you with that. It's overpriced shit.

Unless you are the biggest AMD fanboy go with Intel for CPU. It looks like you have a big enough budget. Any 4 core Intel CPU will smoke the biggest 8 core AMDs when it comes to gaming.

PSU is more than enough even for CF. I prefer BeQuiet though.

SSD is too small. Not only are the 120GB slower than the 250GB models but you will run out of space soon. Get at least 250GB and partition like 60-100GB for the system and the rest for the games.

If you tell me your full budget I can recommend a selection of parts.

1. It's not a configurator actually. I'm picking the parts by myself and see what happens.

2. I'm a huge AMD fan. No Intel ever for me.

3. PSU u sure it's enuff? 750W for two R9 290s? I dont no what is BeQuiet. I heard Corsair PSUs are the best quality.

4. SSD u sure is too small 120GB? Im gonna combine with a 1.5 TB regular HDD. Only gonna have OS and 3-4 games on the SSD.

My full budget, I'm not sure.... 12-500 Euros around? Plus 400 Euros for Moniter.

What's that for a budget? 500? 1250?

 Just throwing it out there, currently AMD cpus aren't even comparable to intel CPUs unless you are on a budget. So if you have to go with AMD you really need the biggest one they offer to be at least close to a bit of gaming power. Then again, if you take advantage of AMD's mantle the CPU shouldn't be the problem.

It's the first time I heard anyone saying Corsair, PSU and best in the same sentence. BeQuiet really is the norm for most gaming PCs I know and helped build.

750W is more than enough on a quality PSU. The maximum output(including maximum OC) on a 2x 290 CF system is just under 700W and that is an extreme scenario with high OC on the CPU as well. If you don't go too crazy with OC you should be fine.

Trust me, you can't have too much room on an SSD. Going from 120 to 250 won't explode your budget. Games don't get smaller over the years.

Have you thought about the CPU heatsink? It's missing on your list.
