I would reduce the 4690K to a locked 4690 to save a little money - if you plan on overclocking, you'll likely need a Z87 board.

I said I've already got all the parts, just need the gpu.

You can get the MSI R9 380 for 177 euros: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9380gaming4g

 

Question: What power supply are you going to be using?

Well, you could have got a 970 if you got the non K version and 8GB of RAM but in this case you're looking at a new R9 380X R9 380 or a used 970 if you don't mind the warranty.

There is no 380X.

Thanks for all the replies. I might consider getting a r9 380. However, do you think I should sell one of my eight sticks of ran or keep it since I'm going to be doing a bit of video editing?

Keep it. Even if your RAM requirements don't require 16GB, you'll likely lose money.

Mehh. If you want to play games like Fallout 4, you should just keep it yourself. Games that came out the last week/month already use 6/8 GB of RAM.
