And is investment into Sabertooth worth it? It looks badass but the PRO R2.0 is €35 cheaper.

The sabertooth is a waste of money. 

So are you free to not choose only Msi now?

I do am, but the board has to be good for OCing and it has to have USB3.0. I have to leave now and return in a few hours, if you have time please check that shop again to make some adjustments. Thanks. :)

Just switch out the mobo for the R2: http://www.alza.sk/asus-m5a99fx-pro-r2-0-d465358.htm

As for the 7950--the gigabyte one is the best cooler. Skip the Hyper 212 Evo if the budget it too tight and get it later.

The problem with that card is that it uses blue PCB. I wouldn't normally mind but he wants this to be a design piece :D

Doesn't the blue fit the mobo's theme? o.O

Why get a more expensive ssd and psu?

The PSU because it is fully modular, SSD because it has 8GB more capacity

Thank you, I was just thinking if it wouldn't be better to buy a 7970, but I wouldn't buy the SSD. What do you think?

Get the ssd. It makes a world of difference.

OK then, I will check the list and send it to him, if I am the one to build it I will surely make some photos for a build log too. :)

EDIT: Just spoke with him and he said that he likes the Corsair 500R too. In my opinion it has better AF cababilities, especially the 200mm on the side to cool the OC'd 7950. With this case, CPU cooler and thermal paste it is €943.34. I fell i got the maximum off this budget.
