[Fear_incarnated]

i have picked out parts for my gaming set up after some research my only questions are
- are there any bottlenecks

- will my lepa rad and fans fit in the case

any tips on different parts my budget is not high only €1200

Why are you using the US version? you know you will pay tons of import tax and shipping costs etc, would the UK one not be a better idea? (are you NI or ROI)

Also id get an i5 over the AMD CPU

1-Avoid the V300 SSD, it had its NAND changed and is now significantly slower than before.

2-The FX 8350 has poor single core performance which matter a lot in games, get a locked skylake i5 (i5 6500) with a H110/B150 board since that will do better in many games.

3- A 550-650W PSU is more than enough for your build.

4- Coolers come included with thermal paste, no need to buy one.

5-That mouse looks fishy

because the AMD CPUs are not very good for gaming compared to intel CPUs, the i5 would be much stronger for gaming, ,yes you would need to change the motherboard

And dont get the V300 SSD,

so any suggestions for a good motherboard for gaming and the i5 proccesor?

I5 6500 and any H170/B150/H110 motherboard with 4 RAM slots would be fine (since you can't overclock it no need to worry much about the board, don't spend much on it).

Can you explain how the intel one is better than the amd?

1.Since you are not overclocking stay with the stock intel heatsink, you can upgrade if you need to further down the line. 

2. Since you only have a limited budget, why go with a K70? there are cheaper MX Red keyboards out there, e.g. logitech g610 (http://gaming.logitech.com/en-gb/product/g610-orion-red-keyboard)

3. Spending 10GBP or 20usd or whatever on thermal compound is unnecessary to put it delicately. 

4. Shops in the UK such as ocuk will ship to Ireland at a what I believe is a fairly inexpensive cost.

5. Get all your parts from a single etailer if possible to avoid paying shipping 2 or 3 times.

1. Go to the by merchant price break down, i think only 3 components can't be shipped by amazon uk for essentially free.

2. Dabs have an irish store I believe

3. you could change the HDD to a cheap 1tb one, get 1x8gb of RAM, 500w PSU, cheaper SSD to get something like 60GBP off, whcih with the current exchange rate puts you at 1195 Euros (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/RdxhnQ)

It seems like AMD dropped the prices again for the FX processors again, though since there is no processor from AMD that is above the FX 8350 I don't think we will have a i5 equivalent.
