Hello everyone, So i'm building my gaming rig, here's what I got so far:

• Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 16GB DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz (CML16GX3M2A1600C9) (2x8GB)

• ASUS Z97-A - ATX / Z97

• Intel Core i7-4790K - 8 core / 4,0GHz (4,4Ghz Turbo) / 8MB / Socket 1150 (Boxed) (88w)

ASUS GeForce GTX 960 STRIX 4GB DirectCU II OC (STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-4GD5)

Not sure what i should get for PSU and Chassis for my rig.

my budget is around 1000 Euro, have any tips on what i should get for my budget ? Or is this setup good enough for playing games like Call of Duty Black Ops 3 on Max Settings 60+ FPS ?

All tips are greatful if you have any other ides on grafic card etc, please let me know :)

Looks nice :) and the prices are pretty much similar to swedish prices. Just have to ask do you think this setup can run Call of Duty Black Ops 3 on Max Settings :p?
