You can afford an unlocked Intel i5 CPU with a Z97 motherboard with that budget aswell as a proper case. This should be close to 1400 euros. 8GB really is enough for now. You can simply add another 8GB if it won't be enough one day.

For those games you you can save quite a bit of money and make a cheaper system that will still run those games really well.

This system will perform the same way in CS:Go and WoW as the build you posted.

The GTX 960 4GB is unnecessary as the GTX 960's VRAM is only useful up to 2.4GB VRAM.

Otherwise you're paying extra for nothing basically.

Smth like this will run modern games on high-to-ultra
Check availability, if something is missing, we'll try to come up with alternatives
Monitor is up to you but I recommend looking at 1080p on 27''. Looks grainy to me.

I put Asus Strix because it had price on PPPicker. Try to find MSI GTX 970.

With higher prices in Europe this probably won't leave any budget for monitor. But it's a good setup.
