So this is what I'm planning on getting:

ASUS H87M-E € 76,72
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3-1600 CL9 kit € 49,99
Intel Core i5 4670 € 190,00
LG GH24NS95 € 15,45
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit NL OEM € 82,85
MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC € 234,50
Samsung 840 Evo 120GB € 88,90
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB € 55,00
Seasonic M12II Bronze 520W € 56,00
Fractal Design Core 3000 €65
Dell U2312HM €177

total around 1100€

Looks good? I'm not going to OC, so I didn't include an cpu cooler yet. Maybe I should?

Only thing I'm unsure about is the screen, does it have a lot of backlight bleeding problems?

Oh and can anyone suggest an affordable good gaming headset? I've heard that the headsets branded "gaming" are all bad, but what else can I get?

Looks good here!

You shouldn't need to worry, as you say, about the CPU cooler if you're not overclocking.

I actually have that same monitor. It's fantastic, colours are great, but as you mention, you do notice the backlight, especially if gaming/watching a film at night with other lights turned off. I personally think with the auto settings (it brightens up when the screen image is dark, go figure) is a bit rubbish, I'm constantly tweaking my monitor's settings between desktop and gaming/film. I've not owned a huge number of monitors so it would be hard to suggest another monitor to you I'm afraid to say.

Gaming headsets are generally a farce. They'll overcharge you for cheap parts, plain and simple. On the plus side, Corsair have generally had good headsets, me and other people I know have enjoyed using them. Senheisser also know how to make fantastic products, one of their mid-range headsets would most likely be brilliant, but audio is such a subjective topic that it'd be hard to recommend anything. My favorite headset could be your worst.

Hey. Build looks really nicem, I won't change anything.
If you aren't going to OC you don't need aftermarket CPU cooler, stock will guarant normal temps without OC.
This screen is pretty good, as almost all mid range monitors.
For headset, my friend has medusa nx 51 gaming-headset and he is happy. look at it ;).

I would go z87, personally on the mobo, just to get your moneys worth.

But only thing I would say other than that is check comparison between GIGABYTE's 760 vs MSI's.

They are pretty close but also with GIGABYTE's is the size of the card as it is almost 11 inches long so you need a long case. I think they run close together but the Windforce is still extremely cool and was my first choice when I wanted my 760, but now I am upgrading to a 770.

Thanks for the answers people, looks like my build fits pretty nicely :)

@Anymossers: I'm not going to OC, so don't really need the k version of the cpu.

@haynesr07: I'd buy the Z87 if I wasn't stretching my budget already, rather spend the money on something else

@houldendub: sad to hear about the blacklight bleeding, but then again I've heard thats an issue with every isp monitor so I guess it can't really be helped

@u_gonna_squeal_b4_we_cookya: yeah thats kinda true, but at 30€ isn't it better to just get the Frantic Design Define R4 with inbuilt soundproof material? If I am going to get an CPU Cooler, what would be a quiet one? I was think Cooler Master hy 421s, but it's a bit big for the case I'm getting. Any other suggestions?

That is one giant cooler!

I was talking about the Hyper 412S actually, is there a difference between these 2? The Hyper 412S is 160mm tall in a 200mm width case, so I guess that's fine. I'll probably order the Core 3000 and then add the Hyper 412S, which would hopefully give me a reasonably quiet pc :D
