Hey guys,
First attempt at building my own system here, will be a Windows/Fedora Linux dual-boot for around 1k Euros.
I am planning to build a system that is suitable for a certain level of Gaming on Windows (i.e. playing a FPS like CS:GO on maximum settings with a frame rate well above 60 and also being able to play other games on high settings) as well as fully compatible (looking at you, video card) for Linux.
I have just compiled components that I think would fit my profile, but as a first time builder, I am essentially clueless, particularly on things like the mainboard and the case.
I do have a pretty good understanding of computers, operating systems and the basic things to look for in components, but am lacking the know-how of building my own system.
I am currently thinking of leaving out a CD/DVD/Blu-ray tray, as I can't remember having used any of them for 2 years now. In case I would have to, I still have a small Notebook.
Here's my current list, with links to the cheapest German vendor I could find for the component:
I am probably going for the cheaper option on the SSD and GPU as the overall price is already a bit over 1k.
I am completely clueless on the case, don't know what to look for there.
I think this setup should well fit my requirements, probably even very well, so that I won't have to upgrade for a few years, which is nice.
My main questions:
Thanks a lot for the help!
Julian
EDIT:
Updated based on feedback (removed the 2nd SSD option, downgraded ram to 8gb cl9, swapped power supply)
EDIT: Updated based on feedback again (added case)
Do I need to think about adding any extra fans or is that something to be handled by the case?

Here's my current list, with links to the cheapest German vendor I could find for the component:
■ SSD: 512GB Samsung 840 Pro Series 284 Euro [0]
■ HDD: 2TB 7200rpm Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 69.00 Euro [1]
■ CPU: 4.0GHz 8-Core AMD FX 8350 145.56 Euro [2]
■ GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 274.46 Euro [3]
or
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 209.13 Euro [4]
■ RAM: 8GB 1600MHz Kingston XMP KHX16C9T3K2/8X 72.51 Euro [6]
■ MOBO: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 102.93 Euro [7]
■ Power: Seasonic M12II-520 69.00 Euro [8]
■ Case: Corsair 450D Obsidian Series 107.76 Euro [9]
Total cost with the cheaper choices is 1017.84
I am probably going for the cheaper option on the SSD and GPU as the overall price is already a bit over 1k.

My main questions:
■ Have I forgotten any components I need?
■ Are these components compatible with each other?
■ Are there any components that you would recommend against?
Thanks a lot for the help!
