Hello,
What do you think about this gaming rig ? Processor and GPU will be fine together ? :)
I got AMD CPU cause it's cheaper. 8 gigs or RAM I think would be enough for now.
it's cost is around 900 euros.

Case Cooler Master Elite RC-K350KWN2-EN
Mainboard Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
CPU AMD FX-6300
Cooler Xigmatek Loki II SD963
Video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 OC MSI
8GB DDR3-1600 RAM CL11 Kingston ValueRAM
1TB SATA-III Hard disk
24x DVD/CD Brenner
SSD 120GB Kingston 2,5 Zoll (6.3cm) SATA-III V300
Netzteil Cooler Master 500 Watt B500 B2
 
I would coonsider if your at the top of your budget to leave off the CPU cooler and the SSD.
With that money change to a i5 processor using the stock fan and a budget H97 motherboard.
That will give you better all around performance, the SSD is only going to help boot times and Iis a luxery item get the best gaming performance first it can be added anytime in the future.

now it's 1050 euros

this would be also fine Prozessor Intel Core i5 4590 ?
 
thanks Zerk2012,
I'm thinking to go for gtx960 zotac because it still provides 60fps 1080p

btw do you know cases with a handle like Cooler Master Scout 2, but cheaper ?
 
just check this specs about your pc case
VGA card length: 316.6mm / 12.5 inch
CPU cooler height: 155mm / 6.1 inch

if you decide to buy an aftermarket cpu cooler now or in the futur...
at the same time check if the gpu length meet the specs when choosen
