Gaming PC round about 900€

[_crobz]

Hey guys, 

 

I am Yannick from Germany and just started to go to university. After the first week I was so bored, I decided to build a gaming PC to distract me from studying. 

 

Problem is: I am pretty new to this topic and can't pick the right choices which work the best for me. Now I am asking you guys to help me build a good and powerful gaming PC around 900€. 

 

The budget is just for the hardware and the case. I already got a mouse, keyboard, headset and monitor! 

 

What I would like to see in that build (if possible) is : - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970/980 

                                                                                    - INTEL i5 or i7 processor

 

I hope you can help me!

 

Greetings from germany!

 

-Oh and I play games like: Diablo III, CS:GO, H1Z1, GTA V, LoL, etc.

dont give your budget in dollars, trust me, you'll be disappointed once you convert your build to euros.

Why did you pick that processor in particular? I just want to understand your picks.

But that build looks almost perfect for my needs!

I've been researching the best value processors for a while already. i5-4460 is the sweetspot. Those above it adds big price but adds only little to performance.

Btw, you can change the Motherboard to Gigabyte it's cheaper by €20. And if you can find cheaper Storage you can replace the 1TB WD to save more money.

 

I think the build is enough to play all modern games.

 

EDIT: You can also change the casing if you can get a good cheaper deal.
