Changed cpu to an I5 because it doesn't impact the fps badly.
Changed Mobo to the Z97 version for better upgradeability. (Broadwell)
Changed the ssd to the 250gb EVO version which was only a few euros more than the 128 pro.
Gpu - A 290 will give better performance, but if you must go with Nvidia, 770's fine. (Has shadowplay for recording and PhysX)
Changed the PSU to a better version.
Also took out thermal paste because the cpu cooler already comes with some.
