Here's a different build just for the crack. Some controversial elements I'll admit.

4gigs of RAM? Tbh I only have one game which uses more, Planetside2. It uses about 5.5gigs of ram but everything else I play uses less than 4gigs.

No SSD? For a strictly gaming machine you don't need one. Makes no real difference in games, just turn your PC on 30 seconds earlier and you will have the same effect. Those WD Blues are very fast anyway.

The obvious benefit of the below is a 280x, a much better graphics card and afterall, we're building a gaming machine.

Buy another 4 gigs of ram and an SSD later.

And you have €50 left over to buy a nice keyboard and mouse. I'd buy them from Amazon.co.uk as you're quite likely to pick up a german layout keyboard from HWVD.
