Need suggestions for first build :D

[Gego]

Dear forum,

 

I'm trying to make a list of parts for my first build. My goal is to make a computer with a focus on hyperthreading for use with FLstudio. I probably won't game heavily on this system until there's a game i want to play and max out. (Something like Star Wars Battlefront). So till then a Radeon R9 will suffice, i think. Considering i only play League and stuff like Minecraft.

I'm still debating wheter an i7 is really worth it. Yes i do want hyperthreading for use with FLstudio however if i want to save some cash a i5 could still be fast enough for all purposes and could save me around 50 bucks. 

The motherboard looks like it has everything i need. I'm not familair with this card though so any input would be nice.

PSU should have plenty of watts for my build. But what if i upgrade to a bigger GPU? Any thoughts? I like the modularity though.

I love the look of the case and the fact that it has really good airflow. I know it's huge but it should be easy to build in for my first build.

 

I'm intrested in saving a little bit of cash somewhere to make it better. Any suggestions to optimize and improve it without making it more expensive would be nice. 

 

I live in the Netherlands, so part prices may vary. For reference i usually use http://www.4launch.nl. My budget is ~800 euro's.

 

 

EDIT: I don't have a monitor yet. Obviously i'll need one but i don't have any reference for a good monitor. Maybe i am interested in a 120hz monitor though.

Just noticed that the Mobo might be overqualified.
