i would do a 390 or a 480 as a graphics card and would add my case sharkoon bd28 because i get a good ariflow and would get an ssd

[aeroencychris]

I would say swap the GPU but that's a really good deal for a GTX 970 so that's fine

I prefer the i5 6500 but in your currency it's about 20 more so idk if that's worth it

Maybe a cheaper motherboard? You don't need many features (unless you specifically need wifi)

I would get a budget mechanical keyboard instead of the Razer one (Tomoko or Redragon) but again, personal preference.

 

Looks good

For the graphic card I could get mine for dirt cheap and this is why i got it.

I am going for an ITX build here, hence the cooler master 130

And i do have and ssd...

Thanks,

What motherboard do you have in mind ? This is my first build I am quite new to this.

If you can stretch to $1350, this:

Would work much better, and get over 60 fps in every game.

sorry for not reading and showing no respect , just the 390 goes better with that cpu

if the price difference is more than 20 euros between the two cards get the 970 if not get the 390

so better GPU.

Why changing the RAM sticks to 2 8GO instead of 1 16GO ?

And I like that motherboard, but i would really like to have USB 3.1 on it.

And I like that motherboard thanks !

2x 8gb will allow the ram to run in dual channel mode, which can improve the speed/performance of it. The GTX1070 is roughly equivalent to a 980/980TI

Looks good

I was also going for this motherboard for the USB 3.1 that it had. Trying to be futurproof

Don't see any cheaper boards with USB 3.1 so that one is fine
