Hey There!
Thanks for reading this!

So i am going to build a gaming computer, and I think i have a neat little list for myself.
My budget is Max. 720 Euro (For reference: ~980 Dollars)
I am going to use the PC for gaming (Battlefield 4, BeamNG Drive) and general use.
I do however, live in The Netherlands, so Amazon (Or other US-based stores) werent available.
Also, it is a Dutch site.

The list

Few questions:
- Does it work with a 600 Watt PSU?
- Can i save a little bit on some parts and get a SSD?
- And in general, woult it work? :) 

Thanks in Advance!

If at all possible, I'll look over the site to see, but you would be better served getting an AM3+ CPU and motherboard for a gaming set-up. I'll go look and see what I can put together if it will let me.

Unfortunately, going to even a weak AM3+ setup would add cost to your build after having looked over the site.

I used pcpartpicker (UK) just to get prices in Euros and here was what I was able to come up with:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: AMD FX-6350 3.9GHz 6-Core Processor (£92.39 @ Aria PC)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (£25.18 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard (£65.48 @ Amazon UK)

I left off the HDD, Keyboard/mouse bundle and monitor as they appear at a better price on the site you referenced than what I was able to find using pcpartpicker, but you will be slightly overbudget when you add those in. Plus, I'm not sure if you can get better (or worse) prices on what I listed where you are. Hope this helps. :)

Euro's and pounds are not the same.

I would rather go with the next,

i would even like the fx 6300 better in that build,but you would have to go for a cheaper keyboard and mouse.At least look at the psu,it's a cheaper and good choice or the xfx pro 550watt.

There are a lot of threads for the x4 athlon 760k vs fx 4300 and the outcome is that they are equal,but with my choice of motherboard you should be able to overclock according to the next list,

How many watts would you recommend?
And, a MSI R9 270 or a Club 3D Radeon HD 7870

520watts should be enough and if you're not going to overclock would the xfx pro 450watt version already be fine with the r9 270.If you wanted a bit more would the xfx pro 550watt do fine,it's about the same price as the corsair builder but better quality.

The r9 270,that one has quite a long delivery time,but the next is in stock,
http://azerty.nl/8-5829-657085/club-3d-radeon-r9-270-ro...
with the same cooler as the 7870.
or this one,
http://azerty.nl/8-5829-663345/msi-r9-270-gaming-2g-bat...
the "Battlefield 4 Limited Edition "so if you don't already have the game it's a nice choice.

The hd 7870 wouldn't be a bad choice,it's about equal in performance=a few fps in favour of the r9 270,but it needs two power connectors and thus uses probably more power plus it's the same chip,only made a bit more efficient on the r9 270.You can see that in this review,

R9 270, newer gen although they pretty much have no performance difference.
