Is this a good build?

GPU: Asus Radeon R9 280

I'm not quite sure what GPU to pick but I think that tis one will be OK. probably adding a HDD later on. Feel free to leave suggestions.

Looks good. But try to find another 80 bucks to go with an R9 290. That's money well spend.

And don't forget about a good CPU cooler since you'll want to overclock this.

But won't the CPU bottleneck the 290?

Nope. I'd recommend some overclocking on the CPU though. I'm running mine at 4.7 GHz.
