Hi Everyone, I am about to build my first ever pc (I have experience upgrading and maintaining) but I feel like such a noob tying to compare parts and figure out what I need. It will be a computer for mostly gaming, skyrim, whicher 2 and such at good graphical settings (and university stuff but that is low usage). I hope the pc will last some 5 years with minor upgrades. My list is currently 800 euro.

I think I think I managed to build a list I like here (sorry for it being a Dutch site but I wanted local prices.
I have a few doubts; either using this motherboard or the Extreme 6 of the same line and the video card I have selected now or the msi 770 gaming.

Any advice would be helpful. I hope to order soon so I can build over the Christmas holiday.
 
I don't think you need a mobo that expensive. I think it's better if you go with a basic one since you won't be doing any overclocking with your CPU. You should spend the money that you have left (when you take a less expensive mobo) on a better GPU. That way, you'll be safer for a longer period of time with games in the future.
