Yeah i really needed a graphic card , i have gtx 770 now (so you can imagine :p ) and yes im from Greece! I didnt set a budget but around 800-1000 euros? i suppose ! im building a pc once every 5-7 years :D
 
I dont know what the prices are in Greece, but I dont think you need to spend that much for a new platform and a case.

Right now I would pass on Intel and go with a Ryzen CPU. They are within 10% of performance and much cheaper. You dont need a fancy AIO cooler if you are not gonna overclock. The 2600x comes with a good stock cooler and it will pair nicely with your system.

The case is really up to what you like, but the NZXT H500i is a nice mid tower case.

Alright I would get the following:

Asus is a bit expensive in your country and I would get this asrock board( asus owns asrock so no worries).

peformance and quality wise theyre the same... your call

Hey m8! everything here in Greece is expensive :( but what to do ! hehe ! i saw the motherboards you suggested ! i add them to the list im seeing :p

About psu and storages , already have (PSU : Evga Supernova ? something like that and 2 ssd for windows and game setups so i think im ok atm ) later i ll give a shot for a m2 !

Liked also a lot the asus z390 e gaming , expensive but i have to learn how to OC and i dont know if worth it :p
 


The 9700k gets 10% better fps than the 2600 but cost more than twice as much and does not come with a CPU cooler. So if you have a budget in mind, you can get a lot more bang for your buck with an AMD CPU. Use the money you save on a better GPU as that will have the biggest impact on gaming performance.

In the past Intel CPUs were your only option for high end gaming. But not any more, AMD's Ryzen CPUs are very good.
