I suggest going for 8 gb of ram instead of 16, since games don't really go beyond 8 gb of ram right now. Also get two drives instead of a SSHD, a 256 ssd or so and a separate hard drive so you can install os and a few games you like on the ssd.

I would give the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 a try and also include an SSD. At least for your OS, be sure to buy an SSD.

Also consider getting a cheaper psu (bronze @ 550w) and adding a cpu cooler

forgott to mention i allready have an 120gb SSD and the SSHD would just be an harddrive but faster version i think ? more worth to get an normal HDD ?

The Gygabyte G1 gaming is to long to fit in this case, 312mm can only fit 290mm, thanks for response tho !

well my budget isn't really set in stone, i live in Sweden and was planning to spend around 10 000SEK ~ 1000EUR. What i was planning to use the PC for is mainly gaming but since i want to be able to use this computer for a few years before i start upgrading it i want it to be able to do other things also.

Get 8gbs of ram and don't get the evga 970 get a different design and also get a 212 evo CPU cooler and that PSU is overpriced get a evga nex 650 its way more power than you need but its half the price of that power supply

what design on the 970 should i get ? the evga was the cheapest i think

Your build is quite solid, but you should do what you can to reduce cost. That PSU has sufficient wattage, but will cost more than a 550w from other reputable brands. If you're just gaming 8GB of RAM is enough. The rest seems ok.

If the EVGA ACX 2.0 is cheapest, get that.

ok so i switched out the 16gb of vengeance memory for 8gb of HyperX fury 1600Mhz, it sounds good now ?

want the PSU since i've heard alot about it's quality.
