Hey guys!

 

I'm looking for a new gaming PC at around €1000 and hope you have any ideas which components I should go for. I live in Austria and can order stuff in Germany.

I am not sure if I should go for a amd cpu and a beefy GPU or for the new features of the Skylake i5 and something like a gtx970 or a last gen i7 with idk which GPU.

Hopefully you have some suggestions,

 

Thank you in advance!

Martin H.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Would an upgrade from the r9 390 to the 390x be worth it?

No. It's only a 5-10% performance improvement for something that costs €100 more.
