60Hz or 60 fps? And also i would go with stock cooler and maybe save that money OR put it in better GPU. Even if you don't do that i would not go with this GPU because of the cooling type. Also 16GB of RAM is not not needed,8 is enough.

Of course i meant 60 fps, i'm just dumb... a better GPU would mean more money, so... i don't know. As for the RAM, it is cheap enough to allow me 16gigs, although i could get 1 stick now and 1 later, when DDR4 is cheaper

looks good, but the AIO is not needed. I know that Gamstar (german gaming magazine) recommends the 970 but i would wait a bitan have a look at the costum RX 480 and GTX1060 before i decide on that

 

16 GB are also more than needed if you want to safe money there you can go with 8 and upgrade later

 

if your interessted in a diffrend approach i was about to post this as a threat for discussion

I would go with stock CPU cooler and with 8GB RAM (you can upgrade in future easy). That is almost 100 € saved which can be saved or placed on better GPU (GTX 980 maybe). But if you are not nVidia fanboy i would suggest you AMD RX 480 which is around the price of 970 but performs better (but check some tests in games you want to play and see). I just started some discussion on prices of RX 480 and GTX 1060 in pc shop in Germany caseking.de and there are pretty good deals on 1060 but little overpriced 480 (seems like it is overpriced because there is only Sapphire custom cooled 480 and they don't have any competition yet so it would be good to wait other 480s)

I saw your post. It's not that i'm a fanboy, since this is the first PC i'll ever build myself, but as you said, since the 1060 is cheaper, i should go for that and maybe get a 20euro cooler, as i dont like/trust the stock one. (That is just me) i mean the 970 cost 280e and if i add the ones from the cooler im at 330 or so, which will get hopefully get me a nice aftermarket 1060 in couple of months
