I did some searching and part picking, all parts are from german site hardwareversand.de. I managed to get some nice low prices on some parts. I would like to do some OCing later. Pc is mainly for gaming(BF4, AC, SWtOR) and occasional photo editing. 700€ was my budget limit
So what do you think? Any parts to replace or is it good to go?

Good build and fits in your budget, all compatible, don't see any issues that might bottleneck you....down the road will prob look to a GPU upgrade so might spend remainder of budget now on a beefier PSU so you won't have to upgrade that later

Nice build for what you want it to be. The only thing is, your mobo could support two cards in crossfire, but a 500 watt PSU doesn't have the juice to power two of them.

If you switch to a 600-650watt PSU it gives you some overhead to add a second GPU (or two new ones, or one that has high power requirements) in the future.

Thx for replies, I will have a look on R9 gpus

As for crossfire, when and if I decide to get another gpu I can always sell that Corsair on ebay. I make someone else happy and I still get some money back from it :)
