Ditch the SSD.that would be a solution but a ssd is just essential in a pc nowdays,
especialy when you hate to wait in games with long loading times and booting up sofware.
but maybe wath IAMEXTREME said was a better idea: drop the capacity of the ssd.
but thanks for the reaction!

As far as the processor is concerned, i'll go with FX 6300.. you'll save around 70-80 dollars!Buy a 64GB SSD for OS only, while save the rest of the data in your HDD. You'll save plenty in here too!
I can buy the FX8350 for good price in an upgrade kit with the motherboard and memory sticks in it as well so that would only save around 20 bucks and drop performance.(at www.alternate.nl)
but what you said about the ssd is maybe a solution.
what SSD would you suggest? I am buying my components at www.alternate.nl

wow thanks for the effort!
I live in the Netherlands so the price would be in euro's and I have to pay for international shiping wich is expensive.
why would you pick as rock extreme 4? that one is more expensive with almost the same performance.
and the case you choose is a liitle bit more expensive than mine.
and I dont know much about AMD cards so can you tell me why you choose that one?

Answers:1. Fx 6300 more than enuff for gaming.
2. I would not go below 120 GB SSD - but that's just me
3. PSU - Sharkoon ?? I'd opt for Corsair, Seasonic, or PC Power and cooling.
Finally: When saving money I'd put all my parts into PCpartpicker.com and do some daily shopping.
Good Luck !!
thanks!
but why wouldn't you choose sharkoon for a psu???
I know corsair is the best chose but a lot more expensive to!

Oh, so the 780 are euros?
Anyway, I chose that mobo over the extreme3 because it had a combo offer with the 6300.
The case is because the HAF 912 has great reviews. In my opinion is one of the best budget friendly cases.
And for the GPU, the 7950 is the king of that price range, performing better than the GTX 760 for like $60 less.
Hope I answered your questions. Unfortunately, pcpartpicker doesn't have your country listed, I don't know if Germany prices can be applied to you so you can have a better match.

Rickios,I've never heard of Sharkoon. They COULD be fine. However, I KNOW that the 3 makers i've listed are very good and reliable. I believe a good PSU should last between 5-10 years and is a vital part of a computer. Therefore I pick quality parts that will last several motherboards or CPU's.
and cooler master? do you think that they would make reliable psu's?

As you are in NL (like me) go to tweakers.net and type every item in pricewatch (http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/). It will show you the lowest available shop prices (web and real) and a star rating whether the shops can be trusted. Good forum to sign up anyway.
Find me there if you have more questions (id = henkbas).

oh forgot to mention the euro's updated it right away!
and about the GPU: I better go inform myself about that 7950!!!!
and yes in germany the have euro's to and the prices are almost the same as in the netherlands so that would be good as well.
thanks for answering my questions!

Never a Cooler master! Get a Corsair or Seasonicwhat's wrong with cooler master?
When it comes to PSUs, Cooler master is not the brand to get hold of!
yes I know that
so because I go for a corsair PSU now, do you think 500 watt would be enough for my system? I cant find all the power consuments of my components.
