The second build goes over my budget in euros kinda , would the locked i5 4590 be enough for gaming on high/ultra settings with the 970? Also lets say i got a FX 8320 and OC'ed it would it be the same performence as the the i5 4590?

Any locked i5 will be fine with the 970. If budget is an issue, get the least expensive i5 4xxx.

All the locked i5's will perform similar. The GPU matters far more. An i5 4460 with an H97 board will be sufficient for you. Overclocking can cost a good deal more, because of motherboard and aftermarket cooling necessary to overclock. It costs a fair amount more, for an overclocking solution, vs a non overclock solution. There are cheaper SLI capable motherboards that can be used, if you want to SLI, that are not very good for overclocking, but will give you what you need for SLI.

That is a substantial amount to consider. A locked i5 with a better GPU will always be better than an overclocked i5 with a lesser gpu, for gaming.

So far this is what i have picked out in the cart on Newegg.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor = 157,89 €
Motherboard: ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard = 62,36 €
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory = 63,15 €
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive = 47,36 €
Video Card: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 970 4GB Video Card = 260,53 €

Total = 646,87 € including shipping cost.

So i still have another 150 euro left , could you please pick out a PSU and a CASE for that amount , please use this website =
