Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 - 75€
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz - 115€
GPU: Sapphire R9 280 OC Dual-X Boost 3GB - 232€
Memory: G.Skill 2x4GB - 73€
Hard Disk - 68€
Monitor - 110€
Case - 30€

Any problems with this build? I'm not planning to overclock, that's why I didn't take the UD3P. The CPU shouldn't bottleneck the GPU right, I've read that this runs pretty smooth. Need a build that can run games like BF4 and Far Cry 4 at high settings (or ultra).

Nothing wrong with your original build but a no-oced FX6300 usually cant reach even Haswell i3 gaming performance.
And a H97M motherboard would give you a fine upgrade path.
This is the best i can suggest you:

I don't get these parts as cheap in my country. I put all these in the shopping cart on Caseking and Amazon DE, but it comes 907€ without shipping costs alltogether. The RAM is actually 107€, the PSU is 75€ and the Video card is 279€. I would also have to pay quite a lot to ship into Slovenia.
