Welcome to the community.

The build looks good, but I have to ask why you are going with the i7 and a 960?

I would definitely go with the i5 and a better gpu like the 1060 or something.

When in doubt, re-format.

You should get something other than a 960. Also, consider getting a better PSU, like a semi modular Seasonic unit.

tbh, i allready got the graphics cards month ago since my old one broke. 

budget is about 780€, but i got the graphics card and ssd allready. (sorry did not mentioned it) 

i picked the i7 to be prepared if i upgrade my graphics card at some day. 

im running a ~5 years old AMD low budget system atm, and would just be happy if i can play my favorite titles at decent fps.

I wouldn't bother with an i7, and would save that money so that you could upgrade the GPU in the future. Any new GPU will give you a much better experience than an i7 would over an i5.

Other than that the build is pretty good. The PSU youre looking at is a good one, just not modular, so you may have to hide cables in your case. Not a big deal depending on now "showcase-y" you are trying to get with the computer.

When in doubt, re-format.

Aight, thank you guys for the help. 

Guess i will still go with a i7, since i bought my gpu 2 month ago and I thought its not a bad buy. Not planing getting a new Gpu in near future. 

Just to make sure for my future, which gpu is a good pick for the i7? Is there a big difference in a more powerfull gpu picture wise?

Literally and 10XX series NVidia card will be an improvement over a 960. That being said, the 960 is still decent enough for 1080p gaming, and any single future card released by Nvidia will be a nice bump in performance. So at least you have an upgrade path a few years down the line. As far as a worthwhile upgrade in the future, only the future knows.

When in doubt, re-format.
