    i5 6600 €250
    H110 board €70
    1tb HDD €50
    8gb RAM €50
    500w PSU €70
    Nanoxia DS3 €70
    R9 390 €350
    250gb SSD €90
    Total €1000

    No need going higher IMO, you're at 1080p I assume?

    Get a nice headset, decent Logitech mouse and checkout reddits /mk/ for a nice keyboard recommendation

    Any questions ask away

    Any chance you could recommend an equivalent Nvidia set up. I personally value the fact they run cooler as my house is usually very warm

    390 isn't bad for cooling afaik.

    Switch the R9 for a GTX 970, little weaker but won't hold you back anyways. Some price
