Wait have not you heard about pc part picker?

Also please replace your hard drive with at least a 7200rpm model. It shouldn't be much more and honestly the 5400rpm might be a major bottleneck for your PC.

how's this SSHD? https://www.amazon.de/Seagate-Desktop-ST1000DX001-Interne-Hybrid-Festplatte/dp/B00ELAVIQ0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1498847583&sr=8-4&keywords=sshd

That seems fine, personally I wouldn't bother with a hybrid drive though. Save some money now and get a real SSD for a boot drive in the future

You can do a straight upgrade with the RAM you have in the original post. Going from the 2,400 Mhz to 2,800 Mhz will save you a few Euros.

yes, but then the pc cost would be even higher :(, well mkay, how long do you think a gtx 1080 would last? Like, how long would it remain good on a 1080p monitor? Then i could change the GPU and add some better storage.

Don't use hybrid drive, please, no performance benefit.

Is a plain hard drive more expensive for you that a hybrid drive? A 1080 will probably last forever with 1080p considering a 1060 3gb will max out basically any game at 1080p.
