hey, Im trying to make a gaming pc with around 1800 euro... was looking at this http://www.pcworld.ie/Product/cyberpower-revolution-xtreme-gaming-pc/320242/307 but prob be complete waste of money buying on impulse..

Will be using it for making gaming vids and work.
im thinking i7 + x99 + gtx 980 will be mandatory to get longevity, upgrade-ability and get the maximum performance.

Anyone could suggest a good build with compatible components

That's the second most powerful -i7 you can get. You probably won't need more. do you want something more/less powerful?
