First of all, Hi to all!
I am a new member to your forum but i use to visit as a viewer whenever i was searching for answers for my pc. I can see a really nice community here with great feedback!
Tomorrow i'll sell my old pc for 300 E, i can say that i have an emotional link with it cuz it was my gaming pc for my uni years..but years pass so we have to evolve!
So the good news are that i am going to buy a new one:
Budget: Around 850E but not strict, i can overcome this ammount if it is necessary but i would like not to.
Time Frame: Until the end of 2015 to purchase all components except GPU which will be bought after3-4 months.

Here is my new build:
Case - BitFenix Comrade ATX Midi Tower (39.10 E)
CPU - Intel Core i3-6100 Box (134.5 E)
Motherboard - Asus Z170-K RETAIL ATX LGA1151 (147.50 E)
Memory - Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 2133MHz DDR4 (56.36 E)
Storage - Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (86.90 E)
Video Card - Saphire ATI Radeon R9 380 Nitro w/BP (260 E)
PSU - 3 options
+ 3 simple fans just enough to cool a bit.
I have dual monitor when working. 1st DELL U24u12m(DVI) , 2nd SAMSUNG 22"(VGA)
Purpose:
MS office, Multitasking (many tabs open RAM in need), and games on decent quality! I dont want extra full graphics, i know i cant really get them with this budget.
Main thought:
To hold this build for some years and upgrade when need comes out. 1st upgrade will be +8GB RAM i think. And MAYBE i'll try Crossfire with a 2nd GPU. Also, i am not interesting in OC.
1. I will buy this GPU in three-four months from now. Until then i want to hold with the intergrated. So can i do that?
2. No, i don't have some other storage inside tower, only one 1TB external disk for backup. I think i can stay with 250 SSD for some time. I was considering about buying M.2 SATA, but its at same price with SSD and half storage capacity.Just to know, without thinking the cost of it, M.2 SATA can be used for main storage disk?
3. With Bitfenix case will i have any space problems inside it with other components?
I would like to have this case, but budget goes up a little bit.
Fractal Design Define S FD-CA-DEF-S-BK Midi Tower no PSU Black (94.40 E)
4. PSU choice:
A. PSU XFX PRO SERIES 650W (97.35 E)
I think it's bronze but a TIER 1 in PSU tier list 2.0 !!??
B. PSU ANTEC EARTHWATTS EA-650 PLATINUM (120 E)
It's a tier 2, but platinum in efficiency.
C. PSU XFX TS SERIES 750W (110 E)
It's a tier2 + bronze, but has 750watts so it can hold the 2nd gpu.
Which of them can hold one and which two GPU's?
That's all! Sorry for this long post but i want to be certain..
Any feedback/suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance.
