Hello, here's another one of the multitude of threads asking for an opinion on a new system :). I've done some researching and have selected all parts already, but I'd like to know what you tech gurus think about the individual parts / the combination of them. I'm particularly interested in what you guys have to say about the PSU (both quality and whether it's powerful enough) and the motherboard.

So, here comes the template:

Approximate Purchase Date: this week (the closer the better)

Budget Range: about 850 euros. Basically, I'm not willing to go much over the cost of what I currently have selected. Maybe some more money for a PSU.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies

Are you buying a monitor: No



Parts to Upgrade: building from scratch. I have already purchased a 1TB external HDD and an ATX mid-tower case

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website for Parts: German or UK Amazon

Location: Don't know why that's important, but I'm in Bulgaria

Parts Preferences: all I'm sure about is an Nvidia GPU

Overclocking: No

SLI: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050

Additional Comments: The reason for all this is the Witcher 3, so ... :)

Here's what I have my eyes on:
GPU:
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 4096MB


CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3,5 GHz

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3

RAM: Crucial BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU Ballistix Sport 2x4GB

Storage: Seagate Desktop SSHD 1TB

PSU: Antec VP 450


Thanks in advance for any comments!
 
Thanks for the replies!

I'm not going to overclock, neither am I planning on upgrading again any time soon. My idea is to get a decent build that will last me a couple of years without me having to open the case other than to clean it :). So I'm not looking for a more powerful PSU with extra wattage, just one that will comfortably power my selected components.
