Hi,

I am building a new computer, i have spent alot of time for research and there are lots of things i really cant decide. Maybe you can help me.
My budget is max 950€ and i will be using 1920x1080 monitor.

Lets start:
http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/6LpfwP MB is different and PSU

CPU: http://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/products/Arvutikomponendid/Protsessorid/615576/ I5-6500

MB: http://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/products/Arvutikomponendid/Emaplaadid/654209/
Asus Socket 1151 H110M2 D3

RAM: http://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/products/Arvutikomponendid/M%C3%A4lud/552959/
Kingston HyperX FURY 2x8GB 2133MHz DDR4

HDD: http://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/products/Arvutikomponendid/K%C3%B5vakettad/214063/
Western Digital Caviar Blue 3.5" 1TB

GPU 2 options :/ MSI GeForce GTX 970, 4GB GDDR5 or MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB, both same price...
http://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/products/Arvutikomponendid/Videokaardid/605439/ R9 390
http://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/products/Arvutikomponendid/Videokaardid/492455/ gtx 970
Please do not tell me to google them, i just cant decide which one to take, i have spent hours reading about these two.

PSU: http://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/products/Arvutikomponendid/Toiteallikad/184161/
SeaSonic S12II series 520W 85+ (Bronze)
If i choose R9 390 i must choose more powerful PSU, maybe you can suggest one:

Case: I really dont have an idea which one to take but you can help me choose one of them from here: http://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/products/Arvutikomponendid/Korpused/

Thermal paste: no idea, but i will research about it, feel free to suggest thermal pastes.

Fans 2 option:
http://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/products/Arvutikomponendid/Jahutid/453827/ 83cfm
http://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/products/Arvutikomponendid/Jahutid/184608/ 68cfm
Or you can suggest your own version of case fans (noise isn't a problem for me i want best cooling performance):
http://www.hinnavaatlus.ee/products/Arvutikomponendid/Jahutid/?search=44586876ce6607b685ee64e54492029f&Order=MinPrice&START=0

Total price was 885 euros so i have 65 euros for Thermal paste, fans, case.
If you want to build your own version of pc, please do not build lga1150 (older generation) as i think it is not futureproof. If you want to build your own version of computer, you can use pcpartpicker deutschland, we have similar prices here.


Good luck :)
 
So i made some research and found out that applying thermal paste to i5-6500 doesnt help much, just -1celsius, so i guess its not worth it. I read some forums and found 2 suggested cases: NZXT Source 210 and Cooler Master NSE-300-KKN1.

n300
sickleflow x2 140cfm
xilence x7 476
616cfm

source 210
xilence x6
408 cfm

I guess n300 is better choice? Now i need your opinions with r9 390 vs gtx 970, both are twin frozr v editions and same price. Please explain which one you would choose and why. As i read, there are more Nvidia optimized and featured games than Ati.
