Welcome to the forum!  Please remember to follow your topics and quote or "@" people to know you have responded.

 

You have a lot of components that you can reuse.  Here is the build I recommend while reusing the most components from your old build.

You could even reuse your old case if you want to further save money.  If USB3.0 is a big issue for you, then you are looking at buying a new motherboard, CPU, and case which would likely take you over your 800 euro budget.

 

Is overclocking important to you or not?  If you don't care about overclocking, we can save you some money and get you a new motherboard, CPU and case while remaining under budget.

 

USB3.0 is not too big of a thing though, and definitely not worth spending a whole lot of unnecessary money for.

USB3.0 is noy a big issue, but i need a new case, i don't mind too spend a little bit more than 800€ and get a nice case for the future if i need to upgrade more the pc don't get any issue

The motherboard you have works.  The only thing missing on it is USB3.0, which is not a big deal.  You can easily add in the build I originally recommended, including the new case(300R) and you will be playing any game available today at ultra settings.  Just because the case has USB3.0 headers and the motherboard doesn't is not a problem.

If you want all-new parts, something like this build will be good, and it has USB3.0.  It does not overclock though.
