I would recommend the I5 4690K, the Ram I believe would be better if it were G.Skill TridentX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory better latencies, Samsung SSD should perform better. WD Black, better for you as a red is for 24/7 use and spins at 5400RPM compared with WD black which is 7200RPM however if that is to expensive you could use a WD Green which is cheaper than both and spins at 5400RPM. The builder series is not great for overclocking and I would say the recommend something higher up corsairs range, like the RM750. The GPU might be better EVGA SC, higher stock clock speed and also has a Overclocking warranty. if you do not want the warranty then the ASUS Strix may be better as it offers a custom PCB which may allow for greater overclocks. I changed the Cpu cooler as well to the Noctua one apparently very good for temperature performance. The case I believe should be fine however the Corsair 300R ATX Mid Tower Case might be better for airflow, your choice completely on that one.

Quick Edit: The http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97a asus motherboard may be quite a good choice of motherboard, very good for overclocking and will compliment a ASUS Strix GPU if you go with that model, also there is a bundle offer saving 30$ on the I5

Thank you guys so much,you all really helped me and of course i am open to any other suggestions.But i forgot to mention that i am from Bulgaria and here there arent that many computer stores with all the components listed in your answers and also the components are very expensive here.I am actually spending around 2400 bulgarian money for this pc which believe it or not is a whole fortune here.

Looks like you should be able to pull it off 2400lev is about 1500dollars

i5 4590 at least
GTX 970 - e.g. EVGA 970 ACX 2.0
H97/Z97 mobo - e.g. Asrock H97 Pro4 -for no overclocking
2x4GB 1866MHz Cl9 or 1600MHz Cl9
550/600W PSU

You can order the parts in from the UK or USA I believe, shame pcpartpicker does not have a bulgarian section

I know that 1500$ are 2400 leva but here the parts are much more expensive and i cant order from amazon,pcpartpicker,newegg and many others.And just for example lets take the asus gtx 970 videocard which is 335$ and if i turn the money directly it will be 530 leva but i cant order it and the same videocard cost 800 leva here and that's the cheapest offer.If you can offer me sites which i can order the parts from that will be great but consider the shippment and the import taxes.

The PSU would defiantly not be a good choice and the 4590 isn't overclockable (with the locked multiplier)

I know what you mean in the UK parts are roughly the same in $ as in £ for example a gtx 980 can cost $500 in America and £479 here when in theory it should be £317.50. What parts can you not get if you list them I can find the suitable replacement.

Euros and the pound actually do have quite a price difference just like USD or CAD to GBP.
