8gb is more than enough, you'll encounter some weird and unreasonable opinions on Steamgifts hehe (prepare for being asked why no i7 etc.)

The lack of a 3TB SSD is passable, but where the heck is the three way Titan Z SLI? That should be a bare minimum for gaming nowadays...

I don't know how often your PC part shop goes on sale on your area, but I've seen 280x and 290 with only 50$ difference on sale here in my area.

280x for 200$, 290 for 250$. Might be even lower if you can find refurbished
