    What about something like this?
    This is probably what I'd order with 1k.

    I just chose that case, but you could choose one to your liking.

    Little bit over budget, could cut some away if needed & add €18.99 for delivery I think.

    Also why not overclock? It's very simple these days, isn't really a risk to your CPU & gets best value for money!

    Yeah I've just recently got into PC building myself too.

    It's all I've been doing for the past month is researching.

    Yeah you can search for the parts listed above, the site I used was hardwareversand
    it's a German site that's very well regarded on boards. You can also use www.scan.ie or also, you can search for the parts listed above on Amazon, personally from Amazon I only buy stuff that has 'Super Saver free delivery' which is offered on items over €25.

    For overclocking, you should do some research, YouTube and even on here. You could keep the motherboard listed above but switch the processor to the i5 3570k which is about €14 more expensive than the one above. You could overclock that to about 4ghz or if you were to get an aftermarket cpu cooler such as the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo which retails at about €29 you could overclock a little past that safely.

    The above build is good.

    I'd just change to the 3570k. It only costs a little more and you can go to 4.5ghz pretty easily. You will just need a better cooler. The coolermaster 212 evo will get you there if you have half decent airflow in the case. It will be €45 extra for these.

    You can save that money getting a 7950 instead of a 7970. It's €70-80 less and performs within 5-8% of the 7970 when overclocked to the same levels. Go with sapphire, gigabyte or club3d.
