A note: I do have a friend which is really into OCing things and etcetra so he did say he wouldn't mind OCing my CPU to 4.2 or 4.4 I don't know which he said anymore, but he told me to get some good cooling.

Hyper 212 EVO is good for that.

@lachyman

Here is a tip for you aswell whenever you help somebody from the Netherlands. 

 

@QuantumGQ 

I visit this site called Tweakers, this site is focused on hardware and software for pc's and consoles. 
They aswell have this very awesome Pricewatch. Only a note, the stores have to update their prices themself, so in a very rare occassion you might find prices that are diffrent from the websites. You should always trust the price on the website to be the correct one. 

 

I changed lachyman his list slightly. I am sorry that it looks so jiberdish - sadly the RML tweakers is using does not work on LTT, so I just have to copy paste and then I can get it like this. 
This is a total off €1383,57 but keep in mind, with shipping costs it comes close to €1500. 

I could do some serious homework for you and look how the prices become when I use the in general cheapest stores and see if you can get for a lower price point after shipping. 

 

The only question I have left for this build are:

* Do you plan to go Crossfire later? This means adding another video card for better performance. Because if you want to do that, then you would need to place a stronger PSU (power supply) in the system. So you don't have to change all that later. 

 

* I aswell put in an IPS monitor instead, this is something some gamers do not like because off the 'slower' response time. But I personally did not notice it, I actually want to say that it felt alot better to game on an IPS panel. This is something i've only done 2 times now and only BF3. While I dont have an IPS panel myself yet, this is something you would like to consider, this LG monitor is very well priced for being an 23" 1080p IPS screen. 

 

* And something that I added into the build aswell is a few corsair fans. Why? Because you said you will overclock and then I suggest to get some good fans in that case for better airflow. This is not necessary, but does help! I included 1 Static Pressure one that you can mount on the CPU Cooler. Then 3 Air flow fans. 2 for the front off the case and 1 as exhaust. Those fans are aswell very good looking, with changeable color rings.

So I would suggest to put the red one on them all, to match the motherboard color!

@Kiwiandapple

 

I thank you for your input, I know of tweakers, i'm a member there and now and then use their site to check prices for products.

 

Further I like the CM Storm QuikFire Pro you put in there, I fucking hate macro keys on a keyboard, don't ever use them / hate the position they are put.

 

Also I was looking at some monitors and had a talk with a friend of mine over Skype and he said this monitor was a really nice 24" screen: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/290818/asus-vs248h-zwart/specificaties/

 

Also I got told by some people that Intel + AMD or ATI (I'm not sure myself which the 7970 is) is not good and that I should go eitehr full AMD or Intel +Nvidia, could anyone give me some more details on that?

 

Further i'd like to thank everyone for all their help so far, it give sme a better idea on what I want and what brings it up to a decent price.

 

P.S I almost got arround 1 TB of games already so I do want some more HDD storage, Did hear that Seagate Barracuda are very good HDD's, is that the same for their 2 TB and 3 TB HDD's?

When are you building this? If i's not anytime soon, you should plan later. Parts and prices change often.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/
Also, make sure to quote a post or tag a member when replying or else they won't get a notification that you replied to them.

@Kiwiandapple did a nice list, but: The motherboard is sort of an outsider in the color scheme, and you should buy a bigger PSU, so that you don't have to worry when it's time to upgrade.

Red and black? I did indeed say, that this PSU works with this setup. But if he want's to upgrade later - he would need a more powerfull one. So it's just something you have to consider yourself, do I want to spend 30€ more now for later?

Great you like the keyboard! 

 

For monitors, my best advice is to go to any store where they have screens. And have a look at IPS panels! Media markt or something. It's very hit or miss with screens when you just look at them with all the specs on paper, but you still need to see the screen in real life!

 

For the whole CPU/GPU off AMD/Intel with AMD/Nvidia no it does not mather - you will see in some games a slight benefit in frames, but this isn't something that huge. Here is Linus who put 2 cards (AMD and Nvidia) onto the AMD and Intel platforms. Keep in mind this is a video made in March 2012. 

 

If you want more space, sure grab the 2 or 3 TB versions off seagate they are just as good. If I were you in that case, I would go for the 3 TB since the price you pay over the 2 TB is only a few euro's and you get 1 TB more space.

I'm not even sure when i'm going to build this yet, it's quite hard to say as the chances of me getting the money required can be really soon or it could take till end of the year.

Wait till you have the money. Like I said, parts and prices change frequently and we can probably get a solid build together for you within a day or two.

 

Fyi, you need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.
