I left out the video card and operating system. You can change the i5 6600k to a 6700k if you are interested in the extra performance in cpu bound tasks. I went for a 950 pro because it's super fast and a great choice for an os drive. Feel free to ask me about my choices. The link you provided is broken so I chose some good parts

Thank you for your answer! I was thinking about 4970k. Is the 6700k and ddr4 worth the extra (about) 80 euros?
And I really like the nzxt h440 black/red version so what do you think about it?

Possibly not, again it depends on what you are interested in doing- for gaming both will perform like a dream, but for overclocking the skylake chips overclock really well (not saying the 4970k doesnt)

The nzxt h440 is sexy and I love it, cases are personal preference and that one has lots of options, I just picked the define r5 because i like the design and it is absurdly cheap for such a quality case

Thank you for your answer rooster. So ddr4 does not affect gaming performance? And that h440 is almost a must for me :D its such a nice looking case.
I have heard a lot good things about the h100i do you have it yourself? if so is it worth the money?. And also about the motherboard you picked is there alot more than example a (asus z170 pro gaming) cause its quite an expensive one :D What kind of rig you have yourself? :)

The h100i is a great chioce, i dont have it myself but a couple of friends have it installed, really great cooler for performance and reliablility. The motherboard was a top of the line pick, don't really remember why i chose it, its a flagship motherboard. You are fine with any z170 motherboard, that asus one you mentioned is great for the money- it also has good overclocking. I have a 2500k and 780 ti, on quite a tight budget so i picked a lot of the parts up second hand :)
