New build examination

[Serathian]

Hey, First post here on this forum. Been a fan of the youtube channel for a while and the videos inspired me to get back into the game and build a gaming pc. Planning on build a new computer after leaving my old computer when i moved county. Been on console for a few years and think its time to make the move back to gaming PC.

Before you read the parts list below I am trying to keep it under 1000€. My view being to upgrade the processor in the future to a i5 or i7 and double the graphics card in crossfire. Not to mention adding a tone more storage.

Cpu: G3258 - 69.90€
Mother board: GA-Z97X Gaming 3 + 8gb Crucial Ballistix Sport Bundle- 129€
Graphics: gigabyte R9 280 WF3OC - 198€

Cpu Cooler: Hydro H100i - 89€

Storage;
SSD: 120GB V300 SSDNow - 64.90€
HHD: 1TB Caviar Green - 58.90€

Case: Nzxt Phantom 530 - 148€

Power Supply:Seasonic 620W M12II-620-Evo - 89.90€

Total: 847.60€

Monitors: Viewsonic 22" VX2209 x 2 - 109€ (218€)

Grand total: 1065.60€

Taking me just over my budget. Planning on buying this after christmas period so lets home i can grab some deals to take it back into my budget. If not an extra 65€ will no kill my bank.

I'm looking for opinions on part quality for longevity and future-proof-ness.

I plan to overclock the snot out of the G3258 hence the H100i and the overkill power supply, which will give me lots of head room for adding in crossfire 280's and a i5 4690k.

Thanks for reading.

Hey thanks for the reply.

Looking at the parts you picked, if i could get them shipped for free of charged that would put the parts list at 1,126.30€ with out monitors (which i do not have and would need to purchase). With monitors on top of that, I would be looking at a lot over my budget.

 

So could you justify your reasons for picking said parts, as you basically gave no feed back on the list i suggested..

Even with no attention to the prices and the difference from the UK and Finland where i live, is there anything that jumps out on my list as a mistake? something better i could get?
