    Hi all,

    Back again, I have revised my previous build to this, http://fr.pcpartpicker.com/p/2A0ug

    We have upped the budget to get a bit more power in the machine. Any thoughts? Looking at building something that will easily play the newest games and will be easy to upgrade going forward.

    All parts are on Amazon but that is more of a coincidence than anything, will be shopping around once we decide on the final parts.

    thanks,

    You don't need an extreme motherboard unless you are overclocking (which that CPU can't as it is non k version) or going to sli which would be better suited to a different PSU.

    If you are not overclocking cut back on motherboard.
    The power supply is not a great choice. Can get a corsair 500w modular for 55 Euro. Or a 700w silver rated be quiet for the same price as your selected one.

    You will save money using hardwareversand.de and the discount site Gehizals.de

    Again the motherboard is way overpriced. If not planning on overclocking as you have a non K processor or going SLI in the future a 60 euro motherboard is grand.

    SSD is way overpriced. You can get a 128GB Samsung SSD for 80 euro.

    You are better off as well with 2*4GB of ram.

    With the savings on the motherboard you could get a 280X.
