Building my first ever PC

[arcticdefender]

Hey everyone, 

I am planning on building my first ever desktop computer.  ( So excited ) 

PC Build  :lol: 

- Budget: 1000 CHF (swiss francs)
- Zip Code or Location: 1936 Switzerland
- Specific Use: Gaming  B) 
- Any preferred components?: Here is a list of a few parts I found: http://www.ldlc.ch/b-ae1911cdcbffb125.html 
- Any spare parts you can re-use?: No 
- Overclocking your processor?: sure, why not
- Need an Operating System?: yes
- Need a Monitor? / Mouse? / Keyboard?: monitor and keyboard
- Need a Wireless Card or Adapter?: if mobo has wireless is cool, otherwise yes need a wireless card
- Need Another Component? (Specify): Think i'm good for the moment

Other Useful Info

- Preferred Case Features (Ex: Color, Side Window, Flashy): any color really as long as it looks cool, would like a small form factor, side window would be nice as well, i would really like a case that looks good and doesn't break the bank, that is why I liked the Bitfenix Prodigy. 
- Number of Monitors: 1 (want to have 2 in the future, if I can fit 2 in the budget I'm ok with that) 
- Other Info?: Seems good to me  

 

I plan on building this computer for gaming and running new games like far cry 4, assassins creed unity, shadow of mordor, etc... So something that is good for now but that can also last a little while in the future. I really want to get the best  bang for my money. 

Idealy, I want to run two monitors but for the moment I can only afford one ( or two if cheaper I don't know), so I want something that can support dual monitors for sure. 
In my part list, I'm missing a power supply and a graphics card ( wasn't sure which ones to get). 

Im upgrading and deciding to build a pc because now I have a laptop i bought 3 years ago that isn't very good for gaming anymore and is getting really slow and running games much worse than the start. 

I'm open to changing and making anything better for sure, and appreciate any help I can get as this is my first time. 
Thanks so much in advance guys,

No graphics card? PSU?

 

What is your budget for those parts?

[arcticdefender]

Well, I wasn't sure which one to get...

I believe it is legit, digitec just makes the prices so high it is crazy. Never go there...

Well, I wasn't sure which one to get... 

This is fully modular (for the small case), better than the Corsair:

@arcticdefender  I would get these parts (cheaper CPU so you can afford a GTX 970) all the other parts you picked i would leave the same.

 

Intel Core i5-4460 (3.2 GHz)

Gigabyte GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD - GeForce GTX 970 4 GB

Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250 Go

Be Quiet ! Alimentation System Power 7 500 W 80PLUS Silver (bulk)

At the risk of sounding redunant, your build is fine.

 

GPU - grab what you can afford in this descending order:  GTX 970> R9 290X> R9 290> R9 280X, R9 280

 

Any good 500w+ PSU should be fine.  I usually like to get a bit more, maybe 600-650.  Make sure that it is fully modular.  Building your first machine in a smaller case is not the easiest way to start.  Modular power supplys can make the process a bit easier and are better for the airflow of the case.
