    What CPU cooler and motherboard for that unlocked cpu? I believe you need a Z97 board to OC. Either save yourself money and get the locked cpu or get an overclocking mobo

    are you sure you need 16gb ram?

    you could also save 30 euro and build it yourself

    I wouldn't be too gone on that case either

    Is that CPU overclockable ? Didnt realize as i wont be overclocking really.

    Mobo im not sure on really, im guessing 550w power supply is enough for the card.

    Also recommend a case ?

    Also at that price you'd be better off with an R9 290 over the GTX770, considerably faster card and price is the same really.

    If it's purely for gaming, 8GB is more than enough.

    I'd say you'd be fine with just a regular non-K cpu!

    If you had another €100 or so you could get the GTX 970 and a higher power PSU to run it.

    Does Hardwareversand built the whole thing for a small fee? That's interesting. Although I wouldnt trust shipping not to damage it. A heavy cooler knocked loose can do a lot of damage.

    If you do go for an R9 290 then go for one with a non reference cooler as the card runs hot and loud otherwise, Myself and my brother both each went with the Sapphire Tri-X as it is really cool and quiet and has a slight over clock, also comes with up to 3 free games(1 triple A title like Alien Isolation and 2 indie games). Its a great card but its very long, a little longer than a 30 cm ruler to give you an idea.

    Building a computer yourself is very easy and enjoyable if you wanted to save a few euro.

    Would prefer an Nvidea card. GTX 970 is interesting though.

    May go for a more basic case with decent cooling, any suggestions ?

    16gb ram is purely personal preference for multiboxing

    If you go for the 970 you definitely don't need a bigger PSU, you have more than enough.

    I just realised that. Minimum according to Nvidia is 500w. I've been staring at GTX 770 specs for the last month and got mixed up. Ran into some money so now I'll be going for a 970, good job you said this it'll save me money on PSU and power usage.

    Card requirements are always grossly over extimated to allow for crap quality power supplies, which is why even cards like GT610 and HD6450, which draw about 30w, are advertised as requiring 400w PSU's when in reality a 200w would be fine.

    So with regard to the GTX970, in reality, a high quality 350w would be perfectly adequate assuming a normal setup otherwise.
