If I were you I would get 1600MHz ram, and replace the FX-8530 with a i5 4690K (or 4690 if you don't want to overclock), and a Z97 Mobo (Or H97 if you don't want to overclock)

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

The price difference between 1600 and 2400MHz is literally 6 euro, so That differance is easily affordable, while switching to a 4690K  will cost me about 50 euro extra, which I can't afford

Hmm, alright.

 

What exactly will you be using this build for?
