Hi there!
I am building a new PC for gaming and streaming on Twitch with a budget of ~1300 Euros and asked for suggestions on a German hardware forum. I do not plan on overclocking. They came up with the following suggestions and I just want to double check with you guys:

CPU:
Intel Core i7-7700, 4x 3.60GHz, boxed (BX80677I77700)

Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-H270-Gaming 3 Intel H270 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR ATX Retail

RAM:
Viper Elite DDR4 16GB (2 x 8GB) 2400MHz Set (Blau) PVE416G240C5KBL

Cooler:
EKL Alpenföhn Ben Nevis (84000000119)

Storage:
Western Digital WD Blue 2TB, SATA 6Gb/s (WD20EZRZ)
SanDisk Plus 240GB, SATA (SDSSDA-240G-G26)

GPU:
Gigabyte Radeon RX 480 G1 Gaming 8G, 8GB GDDR5, DVI, HDMI, 3x DisplayPort (GV-RX480G1 GAMING-8GD)

Power supply:
Cougar GX-S550 550W ATX 2.4

Disc drive:
LG Electronics GH24NSC0 DVD-RW SATA intern schwarz Bulk

Case:
Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl mit Sichtfenster, schallgedämmt (FD-CA-DEF-R4-BL-W)

and for a new monitor either this cheaper one:
LG Electronics 24MP68VQ-P, 23.8"

or a more expensive 144 Hz Modell, haven't decided yet if I can afford this one:
AOC G2460PF, 24"
Plus I find the red bar a little bit ugly, any good 144 Hz alternatives?

----------------------------
What do you think? Everything looking good?
Thanks so much in advance! :)

looks good but don't get this PSU.
There are several things cougar isn't too bad at, PSUs aren't one of them.
it's a cheap HEC PSU, not worth 70€

there were several contenders @mindfactory, listing from best to worst:
EVGA G3 - 100€
Super Flower Golden King Platinum 80€ --> looks like a great deal
Seasonic G - 88€
XFX TS Gold 80€
Corsair Vengeance M550 - 72.4€


Instead of the R4 I'd go with the TT F31 Suppressor
yes, it's a copy. but an enhanced one, with top dust filters, better cable management and air flow. for a handful of € less.
