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.

CPU is fine. If OP wants more performance he can just buy an aftermarket cooler and apply a bit of overclocking. Besides, the FX 6300 is not bad processor. A Hexa Core CPU based on Vishera should do fine for games (current and future titles).

Also, the R9 290 IS high end. Its the enthusiast range. I'd say anything from R9 280 onwards is considered higher end of the spectrum - on AMD's side of things.
