I just checked the price of the motherboard and CPU.

It turns out the MSI Z/H97-G43 gaming is the same price as the MSI H87-G43 gaming so I'd get either of those instead.

The CPU is the same price as i5-4460 so I'd get that one instead.

Edit: do you really need 16gb RAM?

I am not sure i will mainly use computer for gaming.

Does the i5-4460 have the stock fan?

Well for gaming I think 8GB would be enough.

 

Corsair 8GB, DDR3 1600MHz, CL10(http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10) vs Corsair 8GB (1 x 8GB) Vengeance, DDR3 1600MHz, CL9, 1.5V(http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/CMZ8GX3M1A1600C9) vs Corsair 8GB (1 x 8GB) Vengeance Blue, DDR3 1600MHz, CL10, 1.5V(http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10B)

 

What i should get?

I wouldn't get any of those; they seem overpriced there's cheaper options.

I'd get this: http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/HX318C10FRK2%2F8

Don't get that SSD, it's one of the worst ones you can get at the moment; wait for the Crucial MX100 or get the Samsung 840 EVO instead.

And that PSU is a downgrade from the cheaper Seasonic.

You could get cheaper RAM; brand doesn't matter so just get the cheapest RAM that has the specifications you want.

The motherboard is probably ok but this looks like a really good deal: http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/Z97-GAMING-5-BUNDLE

I'd change the GPU to a R9 290 or a 780 and downgrade the RAM to 8gb to fit it in your budget.

The PSU looks like it's the only good one they have in stock right now so get it if they don't have the Seasonic one in stock when you order.

Ssd: Samsung 250GB 840 Evo Series

Hdd: Seagate 1TB Barracuda

Psu: Corsair 650W, CS650M

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl

Keyboard: SteelSeries 6Gv2

Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i or Noctua NH-U14S + Noctua NF-A15 PWM

 

What do you think? I dont think 780 is worth the 200 euros more.

The reason why I wouldn't go with a 770 is the 2gb memory, it's just not enough any more in my opinion.
