Best solution
Your system can support a very good graphics card.
I would save your money and stick with a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming, this performs +/-10% to a GTX 980 but for a little over half the price, excellent value for what you pay and defiantly worth the price. The GTX 980 however is not really a worthwhile investment.
PROBLEM: That motherboard does not support that CPU. You need an LGA 1155 Board to run the i7 3770.

I use the maximus VII gene. It is an outstanding Z97 motherboard.
But, the i7-3770K is incompatible with it. You want the i7-4790K.
If you already have the 3770K, then you will need a Z77 based motherboard.
You must have one already, and it should be sufficient.
To answer your question, €500 should buy you a GTX980 if you can find one. They are in demand now. I actually like the stock ones with the titan blower cooler for a smaller M-ATX case. You will need only a good 500w psu.
I think 60gb is too small for a "C" drive, it will fill up quickly and will lose performance.
120gb should be minimum, 240gb would be better.
Intel and Samsung are my picks.

The GTX 980 is not worth the huge price difference, It is faster but not fast enough for a near double price.I wil go with the 970 for exactly what you said.
but i am kinda having a hard time finding a micro ATX 1155 socket motherboard for a top price of €250. can you help me with that aswell? I dont really know which brands are any good

my bad. i was searching for micro and then it showed this one.I would like to be able of gaming on max on this PC for quite a while. can i do this with the card you suggested?
I just want to be sure i am making the right choice before i buy something i am gonna regret in 3 years
You'll be fine with the current components listed and the ones I have recommended for the years to come. You'll be able to game for 2 years to come at 1920x1080 very well, though we cannot predict the future, the current future is not saying that the GTX 970 is unfit for the upcoming.

The best graphic card for 500 Euro would be the GTX 980, it is exactly in the range of $500. It is also currently the number one best gaming graphic card in the world and also a little bit better than the GTX 970. You can also go for the GTX 970 for around $300, but i would recommend you get two GTX 970 if you are going to go for it. But choose wisely.

psu is 420 watt that came in the case. motherboard is Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H S1155 micro ATX. videocard is Gigabyte GV-N640OC-2GI GT 640 2GB.
replacing it because i cant play new games on max and when i upgrade i wanna do it once and then not again for a few years.
I am having trouble finding a place where i can buy the Asus P8Q77-M/CSM. I live in Holland/The Netherlands

You cannot have a Maximus VII gene with your x77 Intel Chip if you did not know this already

I don't think AMD has dropped the prices of the R9 series at the release of the GTX 900 series. So it really isn't worth it to buy the R9 290/290x as of today
They would have to drop the prices at least 35% to make it worth the purchase! They would need to make the R9 290x at $290 And the R9 290 at $230 or so.

"You cannot have a Maximus VII gene with your x77 Intel Chip if you did not know this already"If you look up the very top of the thread this was already stated.
The GTX 970 performs so close to the R9 290X, but depending on where you live costs around ~$60 more.
I'm very sorry I did not see this at the top of the board. I'm sorry for my ignorance.

Yeah even in Canada they are hard to find. You don't have to get an ROG board to get enthusiast quality however I still am going to buy it for color. MSI and ASUS are amazing quality so choose one from there company.(I know ROG is ASUS) Best of luck with a new GPU and otherboard shopping!!
