Alrighty then. Sorry for all the confusion, it's definitely a little tough to switch between currencies and I know that a lot of parts tend to get inflated when transferred across borders. So from here on out we'll shoot for $800-$1000 using PC Express online pricing.
Ok, so we're still going to go with the Asus Strix GTX 970($410). This is the most important part of your gaming build because this is what drives the frame rates you'll see in game, but modern games are also using the processor more and more.
So next, the CPU. I know you want the i5 4690K, but seeing as how we've dropped the budget, you might look into something like the i3 4150. It's a dual core with 4 threads, so it acts like a 4 core CPU and it has a good clock frequency. This will be good enough to run the latest games, but if you must have a 4 core i5, I would recommend the i5 4570, or, at most, the i5 4590. We'll use the i5 4570 price for right now ($190).
It would appear that the next thing we would look at would be the motherboard, but at this point we have decided upon the two most power hungry items in the build. So we need to look at power supply. This is one of the most commonly overlooked components in a lot of computer build, especially gaming and work stations. If you don't get a quality unit it can fry your machine and damage all those expensive components, so we don't want to skimp here. This forum has a great list of power supply units (PSU) tiered by quality, but I've already scoured most of it, so I know a lot of the good units off the top of my head. After looking through PCEx, I've found 2 units that are of sufficient quality that I would feel comfortable with them in my build. The first unit is the one I suggested earlier: the
Seasonic S12II 620W. The second is:
Antec VP550P 550W. Now the Seasonic is going to be tier 2, while the Antec is going to be tier 3. The difference is the quality of capacitors used. Now obviously it would be nice to use the best PSU you can, but we're also on a budget, so tier 3 here wouldn't be a bad idea, but if you ever decide to put in a second card, the Antec unit is not going to be enough. So if you want to spend a little more now for a higher quality and more capacity unit, the Seasonic is a very good unit. If you don't think you'll be expanding too much past your current build, I wouldn't worry too much and the Antec will be a great budget choice. I'll use the pricing for the Seasonic for now ($77). The only other thing to compare them would be that the Seasonic is modular (meaning the cables that come with the unit can be unplugged and stored away if not needed) and the Antec is not (all the cables come attached and you get no choice in the matter).
So at this point we've chosen all the most important components and we're at $680. We're in a really good place here because we have a lot of choice left.
For the motherboard we'll be looking for a few features, but we'll be looking to keep it near $100. I would go with either the
MSI Z97 PC Mate, the
MSI H97M-G43, or the
Asus H97 ProGamer. I think my top choice there is the MSI PC Mate, but it's up to you. We'll go with the PC Mate's pricing, for now ($112).
There's not a lot of choice on the PCEx website for RAM, so we'll have to go with the
GSkill Ripjaws 2x4GB ($57).
For a hard drive, terrabytes are the standard size now so we'll go with the
WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM ($52).
After looking through most of the cases, this one really jumps out at me. Let me know if you like the look, but for a card as long as the 970 is, this looks like the first option I've seen that will work, that is also a good looking case and has good/modern features. Unfortunately the cable management isn't the greatest, but you should be able to sneak most of them behind the HDD cages. This is where the Seasonic PSU would really shine because you only have to use the cables you need and everything else can be taken out. The
Thermaltake Versa G2 ($43).
This puts us to a total of $941. Now I have just been using the PCEx website and Google currency conversion to get US prices, so let me know if this actually fits in the budget when you look on your end. To recap (no links):
$410 - Asus Strix GTX 970
$112 - MSI Z97 PC Mate
$190 - i5 4570 3.2Ghz
$77 - Seasonic S12II 620W
$57 - GSkill Ripjaws 2x4GB
$52 - WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM
$43 - Thermaltake Versa G2
$941 - Total
