only thing i can think of is get a higher wattage power supply. With the one you chose if you ever plan on upgrading your graphics card you're most likely going to have to spend extra on a new psu

Would go with a 5820k and x99 insted, it's not that much more.

Sadly this would be 200Euros more....

What about this one? What others do you recommend as a PSU?http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/600-Watt-be-quiet--Straight-Power-10-CM-Modular-80--Gold_976850.html

 

And would be 550 Watt ok?http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/550-Watt-Super-Flower-Golden-Green-HX-Non-Modular-80--Gold_944620.html

@ama Oh, didn't see you were going with the i5. 

As for PSU, go with EVGA. 550W would be totally fine. If you want to overclock though or add a second video card later, you'd need something along the lines of 750W, if you wanna do both maybe a bit more. 

Asus is a good choice on the motherboard, but have you looked at those?:

Also, that CPU cooler is a big investment, I'd much rather get a better case (at least the Corsair 200R, or something like the SPEC 01/02/03) and get a Hyper 212 EVO. 

Btw what do you need the SilentWings fan and the optical drive for? Just wasted money imo

 

What country are you from/where are you looking to buy? From german sites? I'll make you a PCPartpicker list.

That BeQuiet cooler won't fit in a Corsair 100R case as it is too big.

1. Ok... a second video card later would be really nice, so i stuck between this three PSUs:

2. I want to do only slight overclocking as its my first time. I understand the Dark Rock pro 3 is not cheap, so what about this CPU cooler? is it better than the hyper212 evo?

Will it fit in the Corsair 200R?

3. Yes. now i changed the motehrboard to the ROG MAXIMUS VIII. However, is it that much better than the Asus Z170 Pro gaming except the additional 3-way crossfire?

 

And yes, ich komme aus germany) mainly from mindfactory.de

But why limit yourself to one page? Alternate.de and Amazon are some amazing retailers here in germany.

If you really want to upgrade to 2 graphics cards in the future, you'll need a good PSU. It's always a good investment though imo since it should last for a few builds. 

If you really can't spend more than 1200€, I'd suggest using 8GB RAM for now and upgrading that later or go down one notch and get a R9 380 instead of the 390. 

Everything else you pretty much need.

Ok i think this is something like my final built.. http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/4B26zy

 

 

And finally.. you see, the prices get pretty high with Skylake... is it may be more worth consiedering the "old" haswell architecture with DD3 and the i5 4690k?

 

thanks very much!

You don't need an optical drive, believe me. It's 10 wasted €. 

Everything else looks good.

Take be quiet! Dark rock 3 (pro won't fit in that case
