Hey guys i'm new here and at building budget gaming pc too.

I have been searching and i'm looking to build this, don't know if it is a good build.

My budget is around 1000€, please tell me if this is good or not and why.

I want to play recent games at max settings and i would like if it wasn't too loud and if possible almost quiet.

This is what i came up with and what i wanted you to help me with:

I dont know if the case is the best for this build please tell me about it, also i'm not sure about the motherboard and about the video card, here where i live there is not a store with evga's video cards so i am thinking about either that one or asus geforce gtx 770 directCU II series.

Thanks in advance.

Well this is 'a bit over buget' but you can instantly cut 280$ by getting only 2*4gb ram maybe at 1600mhz , and cutting the HDD  , and then the config will fit in your budget so >>>

parts in attachments

1500-280 = ~1220$ wich should be under 1000EUR

u could also cut another 20-30 by getting a weaker PSU but if u use the specified psu(or any 750w , 80+gold) with any 1CPU+1Graphics card , that power supply should last at least 10 years , maybe even more...

you could also drop the aftermarket CPU cooler but i'd say it's necessary for an unlocked , overclockable cpu.

Well overall drops could still be made.... but i recommend the parts i picked .

 

Hope i gave you at least an ideea.

 

And as a future advice never cheap out on GPU,PSU , cause the gpu has the biggest inpact on gaming and a good psu can ensure system stability , everything else should be balanced too , but i personally think theese are essential . That and the Ram should not be lower than 8gb for any gaming PC

Couple of nitpicks, no HDD for mass storage? You can get Air Coolers (despite their bulk, more polarizing aesthetics) that outperform AIO water coolers like the h100i in cooling and noise (see noctua NH-D14/D15), and are typically at least marginally cheaper. EVGA Supernova G2 PSUs are probably worth looking at, although the RM series does have the silent/near silent features which MIGHT justify the extra expense. The EVGA units got 9.8 for 750W and 9.9 for 850W on JonnyGuru and are like $90 and $110 here. The Sapphire Tri-X/Vapor-X and PowerColor PCS+ r9 290s are perhaps worth a gander. I think they offer a bit more raw performance for the buck than the nVidia competition and unlike the vast majority of r9 290 models, those versions have effective coolers and won't hit 80 and 90 degrees C the way others do. I have heard fantastic things about EVGA and nVidia too, and I don't think you'd go wrong that route unless performance/$ is your main factor.

 

P.S. started out addressing the reply to OP, shifted into addressing O.P. directly. Did you catch that? (sorry)

 CPU:  Intel i7-4790K      Cooler:  Noctua NH-D14     GPU: ZOTAC GTX 1070 TI MINI     Motherboard:  ASUS Z97 Gryphon     RAM:  32GB G Skill Trident X     

Storage: 2x 512GB Samsung 850 EVO (RAID 0) / 2TB Seagate Barracuda     PSU: 850W EVGA SuperNova G2     Case: Fractal Design Node 804

Ok guys, this is what i'll go for, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rNdVGX.

Still would like you guys to rate it and say why it's good/bad :D thanks

You don't need 750W PSU, it's way overkill

Go with 290, more performance, and if you downgrade that PSU, you can have more headroom for a 290.

Go with 4690k, it's a better OC'er

That board is way too expensive, get some cheaper Z97 (like MSI Gaming 3), because that board is almost the same price as  your CPU...
