Hi everyone, I am posting only the main components of my future pc built.

MOBO: ASUS CORSAIR V FORMULA-Z
CPU: AMD FX8350 4.0GHZ 8 CORE
CPU cooling: CORSAIR H100i
GPU: GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX760 WINDFORCE 2GB OC
RAM: CORSAIR CMSO8GX 8GB 1600MHZ SINGLE

What to you think about the system? My PSU is 700W so there won't be any problem there.
Any other suggestions would be nice. Should the RAM be dual for more speed?

I would suggest this. Then just get a cooler when you have a need to overclock.

i5 4690k and Z97-A MoBo would do better, regardless of what you play. R9 280 is a better card for same price, look up some benchmarks. Put 2X4GB sticks there, the MoBos are dual channel and two sticks would be optimum, faster than a single one. Also, 700W is fine, but the quality of PSU should be decent, what model is it?

PSU is a TAGAN TG700-U25
Also the GPU is already in my possesion. So I'll stick with that. I'll look up for the other stuff.
THe budget for the four components(GPU is out) is about 500 euros, I think it is about 420-440 pounds.

I estimate that your cpu, motherboard and cooler will cost about 360 pounds.

A i5-4690K will be 170, a Z97-A motherboard 117, and a noctua nh-u14-s cooler about 60. total 347.
For that, you will get a superior gaming cpu.
If you wanted, a i7-4790k will be 95# more and still fit in your budget.

And... yes, a dual channel ram kit is in order. No need for fancy heat spreaders, in fact low profile is better. 1600 speed is fine.

There is a great deal going on right on the EVGA Supernova 750 watt for only $50. But I bet it won't last long.

After a small search this is what I've found. Also I am from Greece and the following prices are from a Greek shop.

What I posted:
MOBO: ASUS CORSAIR V FORMULA-Z..................................................................228 euros/ 179 pounds
CPU: AMD FX8350 4.0GHZ 8 CORE.........................................................................167 euros/ 131 pounds
CPU cooling: Noctua- D14..........................................................................................70 euros/ 55 pounds
RAM: CORSAIR CMZ8GX3 VENGEANCE 1600MHZ 2x4GB..........................................90 euros/ 71
.....................................................................................................................Total: 555 euros/ 436 pounds

Your recommentation:

MOBO: INTEL i5-4690K............................................................................................230 euros/ 180 pounds
CPU: ASUS Z97-A...................................................................................................150 euros/ 117 pounds
CPU cooling: Noctua- D14..........................................................................................70 euros/ 55 pounds
RAM: CORSAIR CMZ8GX3 VENGEANCE 1600MHZ 2x4GB..........................................90 euros/ 71
...................................................................................................................Total: 540 euros/ 423 pounds

These prices aren't the cheapest that someone can get. With a little more search you could save 50-70 euros/ 40-55 pounds at least.
