New PC build help

[cookiiedude]

Hello, I'm gonna build a new pc but not to sure what parts to get.

I have found the case I want to use, the CM Storm Scout 2. I mainly choose this one for easier transport.

I'm gonna be using it mainly for gaming, but other editing stuff too..

I have a budget around 1200 - 1500$ 

Thanks in advance.

 

edit: I live in Denmark (europe), I allready have a gpu and cd drive, and I dont need any monitors or other peripherals.

Location? Do you need peripherals or a monitor? Are you reusing any parts? Do you want a CD drive?

Are you willing to not use that GPU? You can probably fit in a GTX970 into the build. If you want to use the 760, you don't need to spend 1200+, you can get by with spending less than 800 euros

I want to use the 760 for now, then maybe upgrade later.

This should keep you going for a long long time. The i7 and the 16GB of ram is there more for editing than anything. 512GB SSD for 1 or 2 current editing projects and the 3TB HDD for general storage. The Asus H97 PRO is the best H97 motherboard you can buy and the Super Flower make some of the best PSUs on the planet. 650W should be more than enough for 1 and maybe even 2 GTX970s. Comes up to about 1000 Euros.
