Hi, I would like to ask you what best components I can get in 600-700 euro budget? Obviously I want to get best performance thats possible in that price range since I am aiming for playing games. I will keep pc case, HDD and dvd-rom from my old PC. I need to get new GPU, CPU, RAM, MB, SSD and PSU.

I am thinking about this:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 (maybe i5-4440 is enough)
GPU: R9 270X / GTX 750 Ti / GTX 660 / HD 7850
RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 2x4GB 1600MHz
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB (doesnt really matter, but my friend told me that Samsung SSD are good and fast :p )

I have no idea which PSU and MB to get, I need your help there. As for graphic card, I guess R9 270X is best of these right? Can u tell me what difference is between R9 270 and R9 270X? Only higher core clock or? And is it worth to get OCed GPU or its better to do it myself? As there are many OCed editions of various GPUs.

PS: This setup is only my idea, u can offer me another components if u think there is something better :p 

PS2: I am going to get Intel CPU, not AMD because from I have heard Intel is much better for gaming and i5 has best power/price for gaming purpose.

Thanks you very much for any suggestion :)

Hi,
Here is something for 680Eur.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor (€164.90 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Motherboard: ASRock B85M Pro4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (€61.90 @ Caseking)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (€59.90 @ Caseking)
Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk (€56.97 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon R9 280X 3GB Video Card (€264.90 @ Caseking)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (€69.90 @ Caseking)
Total: €678.47
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
(Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-04-02 18:31 CEST+0200)

Btw, AMD processors are more budget friendly and have better power/price ratio
Here is a simple example:
i5 4670K+ R9 270X = 370Eur.
FX 8320 + R9 280X= 370Eur.
So which one do you think will be better in games?

About AMD vs Intel, then yeah Intel is more expensive but provide u much stronger power per each core and I think this is much more important for gaming than having 6-8 cores since games are mostly running at max 4 cores as far as I know.

About the Intel/AMD, i am currently using i7 2600 with r9 270X, while my brother has FX 6300 with GTX 560. I use to have the GTX 560 and the difference between the i7 2600 and FX 6300 in games was no more than 5-10fps. If now i switch to GTX 560 and give my brother R9 270X, although he has FX 6300, he will beat me in any game. Again GPU is what matters this days, not CPU

Thanks you for recommending PSU and GPU.

i7-2600 is pretty old CPU u know, but it still has more power than FX-6300. FX series are great to OC but I still think that Intel CPU are still better. Especially thanks to much more power per each core as I said above. I am not expert, I am rather rookie. I am just saying what I have heard from many ppl and websites. Maybe your point is to say that AMDs are cheaper and has enough power for playing games, that may be true. And yes, GPU is what really matters for most games today however there are still many CPU intensive games such like TERA and others mmorpgs and I am mostly playing mmorpgs. Thats why I want both strong GPU and CPU, to be able to play anything I like :) 

As I said, I am not expert, so any suggestions are wellcome :)

I7 2600 is maybe old, but still Tier 1 gaming CPU. The improvement over 3th and 4th generation i7 is bearly noticeable over 2nd generation i7.
You should have said up in your original post that you will be playing mmorpgs.

This... The i7-2600 is a great CPU for gaming, especially MMORPGs! (most MMOs don't require much)
