Drop the PSU down to a 650-750W, EVGA G2 series is good, though there are other tier 1 units as well. You might also want better cooling for the CPU so you can overclock it a bit so it can keep up with low end Intel chips

thanks alot this really helped. I will follow your advice but im already over my budget by a bit(€850-925 max)so thanks alot. Would 650- 700w be enough?

Robb27 :

If you have a budget to worry about then get a cheaper case, the 650 G2 EVGA PSU, and scrap the pointless garbage that is AMD. You can get http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/Bg2fK8 . Of course, if you're elsewhere it might chance a bit

thanks for your opinion on amd but im what some might call "amds bitch"

Your choice, but I highly recommend getting a decent cooler so you can get >4.5 on that thing. Less than that and it's worse than an i3 for most games. The PSU suggestions stand though.

thanks i took your advice so i hope its better i was just looking for a good (cheap) cpu fan. any suggestions?

That thing will probably be >140W when you're done with it, so I would recommend big air or an AIO water cooler. Neither will be cheap though, so that's a purchase for another day.
