Grab a z97 board, and you're good.

Get a Z97 motherboard instead of Z87, and an R9 290 instead of a 770.

Since it's a gaming PC (based on the motherboard), get an i5-4690k, and spend the rest of the money on a better CPU cooler or PSU (my suggestion)

Oh hoi Jelle

Get a Z97 motherboard instead of Z87, and an R9 290 instead of a 770.

why get a radeon graphics card ?

[Mao_Zedong]

why get a radeon graphics card ?

The gtx 770 isn't a very good deal right now, the 290 is a pretty good value, but I would personally get a 970 for better power consumption (so slightly lower cost in the end) and all of nvidias features. There is a reason the 970 is selling so well.

[Aniallation]

why get a radeon graphics card ?

Because the 290 costs the same as a 770 but performs as good if not better then a 780.

in my local currency the r9 290 costs more

[Aniallation]

in my local currency the r9 290 costs more

How much more? 

 

Also save some money and get an i5 4690K. With just gaming and web use there will be next to no benefit of having an i7.

[Rebelattack]

in my local currency the r9 290 costs more

 

Depends which one you pick cheap GTX770 go for 240 euros but a decent one is 300 maybe more and a good R9 290 is also around the 300. I don't know which website you use but getting an r9 290 or gtx970 is a much better buy.

about 50 more for r9 and about 100 more for the gtx970 be aware that 1US dollar is €0.79 but prices do not change so 299 dollars equals 299 euros so thats about 65 euro i pay more

 

and thanks for the cpu reccomend

If the pricing is like that, then the 770 is a pretty good option. It is a pretty good card, but in the usa it isn't priced well right now.

Codima
Forcom Multimedia Hotshop <--- Sells lots of overclocking, cooling, and gaming-specific components
Info Occases <--- Kind of like a Radio Shack for Belgium, sells more accessories (ink, toner, wires, etc) with a few PC parts on the side

This should help you find good prices. Don't go to Pixmania, I hear bad things.

Okay so I'm here to help you:

 

First took a look at the case you got because it looked cool and i wanted to see the reviews... Lets just say that there are some people out there who are pissed at this case. One person got literally two of them and each of them were crushed on receival. Also it is very flimsy and the fans in it are a joke. I also got you the same amount of storage that was cheaper, and also I got a case of my personal liking if you want to change it it is okay. Also i think it is just a cool case.

 

Here is the list >>>>>>          http://pcpartpicker.com/user/wjm22400/saved/DM62FT

If you can buy from Alternate, can you buy from other Dutch companies? Or do you buy from Alternate because they have a Belgian enclave? Reason I ask is because you can compare prices on the other Dutch sites, like Azerty.

He probably can as most dutch part companies deliver also to Belgium and parts of germany, so depending on where he lives 4launch.nl is also a good store with good prices, its shop is located near the northern belgian border

the reason is because its like 10 KM = 6.21miles from my home + i got my other pc from there and i know ex alternate workers my cousin bought his pc from the store so nothing but great things
