Now i have two questions 1: Is that build worth the price? And whether the awnser is yes or no is there a better one you would recommend? (take note i live in belgium however)

Thanks in advance.

For the price of a FX 8350 and 970 4+2 board you can get a FX 8320 and a 990FX 6+2 board, which can overclock better and potentially higher than the 8350 on a 4+2 board.
You can choose to go for an FX 6300 since most games now use 4 cores, and the difference can net you a 990FX board and a water cooler.
Living in US, i can't say whether or not those are good prices without looking everything up. What i can say however, is that.. with AMD's new Ryzen platform coming out next month, purchasing any CPU's/Motherboards is not a wise choice. Prices on existing AMD platforms (and possibly Intel) should drop once Ryzen is unleashed.
 
Aside from being such an old platform (over four years old) it, seems quite over-priced to me. Of course, I don't know exactly what the prices are in Belgium. The best I could do was a price comparison using the German version of PC Part Picker and not all of the parts were available or had prices associated with them:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Hopefully, this and your knowledge of price comparisons between Belgium and Germany will give you some idea as to what it should cost.

Well i don't have the option to build the thing myself so i am looking for the best build site i can find. If you know a better one i could use don't hesitate to tell me :l

Edit:

I found a store thats close to where i live that has this:

and http://www.deno.be/pc-multimedia/computers/desktops/asus-desktop-m32cd-be018t-itasm32cdbe018t-itasm32cdbe018t

http://www.deno.be/pc-multimedia/computers/desktops/asus-gaming-desktop-g20cb-be006t-itasg20cbbe006t-itasg20cbbe006t

Although i'm not sure if i like the triangle shaped one. Still do those look worth their price to you?

Does that looks worth the price to you?
 
I was just giving you a price/part comparison. Seems the price list you posted was higher than what I was finding. I wasn't sure if that was because of different countries or if your selected store was just over charging. Sorry, I don't know of any stores (as I'm US based).
