My point is, a computer needs to be made of quality components that work well with each other. There's a limit to how cheap you can go on individual components before you sacrifice the quality and dependability of the whole system. Anyone can put a awesome video card in a system with a bunch of cheap parts to make the budget but that is not the way to build a computer. The trick is to maximize the potential of the build while maintaining the highest quality of components possible for a given budget. That is what makes a good computer.

Asking us to build something for 8 weeks time right now is irrelevant.

You can expect the latest AMD Gpu to be released in the coming weeks/months and drive down the price of all other components, skewing any current build image.

Now is not the time to configure anything.

Ask again when you are ready to buy for a current, up to date system.

even if nothing is released, prices fluctuate evne in anticipation of new hardware.

So again, ask when ready to buy a few days in advance

Austria,Slovenia,Germany,Croatia,Italy are the options, as long as they ship to Austria/Slovenia

This is quite vague...going on your name you are in slovenia.

We need to know because prices are regional and vary strongly, even within europe and from Austria to Germany, to Hungary, to Slovenia etc.

Will have a look. The other builds are probably not 100% realistic now, as they are based on little info about your location.

Take them as a guideline for now though

The GTX 970 is way faster than a 280X, way faster than even a 290x, +
Im not a AMD fan :(

I am an Nvidia "fan"

The 970 is NOT way faster than a 290x

They trade blows and in perhaps 60% of cases it come out on top over the radeon

Well I cant understand how a 280x can almost go over my budget, beacuse the price of the build I posted with a 970 is 780€
 
The build you posted, Aljaz, includes a motherboard that has been downgraded to inferior power phase design, a substandard power supply, single channel ddr3, and a "green" hard drive that uses "Intellipower" to idle the drive often making its' perfomance slow for a gaming system. So, what you have is a great video card and a bunch of other parts that do a marginal to poor job of supporting it.
