You could add another 4 gigs of ram and a ssd for around 90 more to hit 550.
Look at Samsung evo basic 120gb. It's around 60-70.

I was going to add extra ram and ssd later in year, looking for as much gaming performance as possible now.

I would put in ssd from start. 120 gigs should last you a few months before you get her. It would also be easier as you wouldn't have to transfer the files over.

Most people recommend a fresh install on an ssd and you are probably better off, however when I got an ssd I just used the included samsung magician to clone my OS from the original hdd to the ssd and it works like a charm, no hassle at all, would give you the price of the ssd to lump into the GPU budget

What about a Gtx 760 at €212? would bring budget up to around €520.

Haven't got one myself but by all accounts it's a very good GPU!

you should look at getting a better cooler and overclock your CPU if its overall performance you're after.

Definitely go for the GTX 760 if you've the money for it.
