This configuration works very well. I have overcklocked the FX 8350 @4.6GHz and it works very well.

drop the fx 8350 and h105 and get an i5 4690k with any cooler you can afford. if you are video editing, it is fine. if you are gaming, change to the i5. change the psu from a corsair one to either a xfx or Seasonic.

You'll get a lot more performance dropping to a 4-core CPU if only gaming. An FX-6300 would not be a bad idea and would be better for your build. Although do note, an i5 would be nice.

We really need to know what you're going to use the PC for so we know what parts suit you the best!
If you do video edtiing etc. it's a nice build.

If you do more or less no content creation (video editing, photoshopping etc.) then for example an i5 4690k would fit better.

Thank you for the information. But the problem is when i change the CPU then i have also to change the motherboard, and this would cost me about 70€ more, unfortunately this is not in my budget

It will handle pretty much everything you will throw at it, You will have good multi-tasking performance becouse of the 8 cores and 16gb RAM.

Personally i think you should go with a R9 290 instead of the 280 since the 280 feels underpowered at that budget.

Use PCpartpicker to plan it, It will tell you if there is something that may not work together and where you can get it as cheap as possible.

And after that export it as BBcode, Like this:

I want to use tis pc for converting large video files and to sometimes play some games, but i dont want this pc to run out in the next years, so i want components what are futureproof

Thank you for this nice help, but i am in austria, i have a store near where all these components are very cheap

But unfortunately the R9 290 is out of the range of my budget, i would like to have one of these cards, but they are to expensive for me

I use PCpartpicker to plan and get a better overview on the parts and save plans. I buy everything from "Komplett" here in sweden

The R9 280 is a good GPU anyways, AS long as you dont expect Ultra graphics at 60fps+ the 280 will fit you fine.

It is good to buy things from the same place, In some stores you might even get a discount becouse you are buying stuff from them.

The 8350 should handle anything you throw at it, and I would recommend a 290. However, I can't do that since it's out of your budget range.

 

Just as a warning, prepare for you computer to have the power to heat your house.

I have to think about that, because the difference in price of the 280 and the 290 are about 100€ and this is very much :0

 

The heat i think is no problem, i will let the window open

In that case u made a very good build everything is fine.

Step up would only be fx 9000 series or i7. Rest of the build is enough for your needs. I love the fans choice

Im not sure now but maybe GTX 900 series gpu in future could help with rendering. Especially 960 is rumoured to have an encoder h.265. I dont work with vid editing so i might be completely wrong

Thanks for the answer. The Nvidia Cards are heavy with their prices, so i choose a AMD Card, because the nvida cards have no advantages i can profit from.

you could compromise between the two, get an Asus 7970 DirectCU II and overclock the hell out of it. It's a monster and will max out... most games.
