So, I have redone my previous build and ended up with this. 

Now, I am asking for your opinion on it.

I will be using two monitors, and gaming at ultra (+many x MSAA)

 

Will it work?

Is it good for futureproofness?

Can it handle OC well?

(Some ideas how to make it cheaper?)

 

Thanks in advance!

Looks pretty good to me. You can save a bit of money by ditching the liquid cooler and going with a tower cooler like the HyperX 212X (or EVO), getting RAM with a lower clock, and getting a cheaper power supply, like the XFX TS 550 Gold.

The price for the 850 EVO is a tad higher than usual. I suggest you wait for a bit until you find it for around 130-140 €.

Also, don't be afraid of shopping from outside your country: the various Amazon portals have slightly different prices on the same components at all time, so shop around to see where it's cheaper.

Mhmm, I see, I will look into that. I've been looking at Amazon.de recently, found some good deals there. But other sites, that have been recommended to me have shipping at the cost of the money I would save = same effect. 

 

Thanks for the opinion!

To my knowledge, stuff sold by Amazon itself or handled by Amazon's logistics has free shipping. The only exception to the rule is for stuff bought through Amazon.com: In that case, you pay for shipping, VAT, and possibly tariffs.

Check out the Spanish, French, Italian, and British versions too. From what I've seen, Amazon.it and Amazon.es are generally a tad pricier than the others, but from time to time a pretty good deal pops up in them.

You can also track the items you want to get for less money by using camelcamelcamel.com

Well, I checked them, however I don't know a single little thing in those languages, I know at least something in German. Maybe I can try using Google Translate, tho... Thanks for the tips!

You can save money with the SSD but only 20€ or something like that.

The Kingston HyperX Savage 480GB costs about 135€ and should be

about as fast as the 850 EVO.

 

Instead of the RMx I would get the EVGA SuperNova G2 650W which costs

~15€ more.

 

And any special reason you are going for the WD Black? Imo just get the Blue

one. It's faster and not so noisy and you save some bucks.

 

Other than that I dont see anything out of the ordinary so you should be good to go.

Thanks. 

I chose Samsung ssd because od its popularity; basically every build contains it. I've found some website for SSD comparison, might look into that. 

Secondly, I chose Corsair PSU because I wanted same branded PSU and case. Also for custom cables. 

Lastly, I found some kind of guide on WD HDDs and it told that Black is fastest and most reliable, dunno. They all seem to be same, so I'll get the cheaper. 

 

Thanks for helping!
