I don't have the money for my first pc yet, but around February - March I will, I know it's quite far away, but it will happen. What new parts are planned to come out around then ?

Would I have to change alot on this ? http://www.ldlc.com/b-de417c5818aa86eb.html

I'm going for a white and blue theme, the keyboard is the only one available at the moment, the blue one is out of stock. Later I want to add a Blue or White LED AF Fan by Corsair and install a blue or white LED Tube to light up the inside.

How do you people know what to put here ?

Don't expect anything upcoming to be cheap. Stick to the Z97 chipset as it will drop in price over time. As for the list, swap the 4670K to a 4690K. Unless you plan to crossfire, a 500W PSU will be fine. And if you do, use the money to beef up your cooler. Finally, the RGB K70 will be hitting the shelves before your purchase time, so consider that.

PC components age fast. Those parts could be 15%+/- cheaper by then. If you're planning to build that far in the future, you should plan to get the components that are the best now. Instead of what's run-of-the-mill now.

Air 540, MSI Z97 Gaming 7, 4770K, SLI EVGA 980Ti, 16GB Vengeance Pro 2133, HX1050, H105840 EVO 500, 850 Pro 512, WD Black 1TB, HyperX 3K 120, SMSNG u28e590d, K70 Blues, M65 RGB.          Son's PC: A10 7850k, MSI A88X gaming, MSI gaming R9 270X, Air 240, H55, 8GB Vengeance pro 2400, CX430, Asus VG278HE, K60 Reds, M65 RGB                                                                                       Daughter's PC: i5-4430, MSI z87 gaming AC, GTX970 gaming 4G, pink air 240, fury 1866 8gb, CX600, SMSNG un55HU8550, CMstorm greens, Deathadder 2013

I think I will Crossfire one day, I need to look in to how efficient it is. The RGB K70 looks BEAUTIFUL. I'll change the processor, TymmvonD is right about getting very good stuff for planning ahead. And do you mean the CPU Cooler ? What would you reccomend ?

 

Not bad at all. Is this the cheapest online retailler for pc components in France ? Seems a bit expensive on my end (Québec, salut le frère).

It's either LDLC or Materiel.net I don't know any others

I'm english but live in France but Salut à toi ^^

I'd suggest planning later. ~2-3 days at most before you buy. Parts and prices change frequently so any parts list you come up with now will likely be obsolete by the time you're ready to buy.
