Is this a joke?
The title says "Monster PC". All I'm seeing is

Last last gen CPU with last last last last gen power
GPU that is a few steps under high end
painfully overpriced RAM
midrange cooler
ridiculously over sized low quality PSU
mainstream SSD

It's a good, functional and almost cost effective build but it is so far from a "Monster PC" that it made me write this post. Please don't tell me someone actually recommended this build to you.

What...?

You silly person, looks like someone doesn't know the lastest amd cards

For the GPU I count at least 2 steps below high end, completely ignoring crossfire builds.

The CPU can't even handle Intel CPUs from 4 generations ago.

I stand correct.

All I can say is litterally everything you said is incorrect.

Moderators?

Please read some benchmarks.

290 is easily beaten by 290X, 780i and any crossfire/SLI build. That's not high end and definitely not "monster".

AMD CPUs can't hold a candle against Intel CPUs when gaming is concerned. That is the case at least since Sandy Bridge. For reference

Notice how the highest end AMD CPU is smoked by multiple INTEL CPUS from 4 generations ago.
