Wait for benchmarks for Ryzen to see if it performs as marketing says it does

While lrrelevant's build is better at gaming I thought I would show a third way to spend money. If you are gaming at 1080 I would argue that this is the best! I would wait for reviews of Ryzen before you make any decisions if I were going to buy today I would go with this one. This is a second option that trades a 1080 to a 1070 for a much larger ssd.

On a side note there does not need to be 3+ threads for this question. Please use this one.as your others do not have responses.

Almost all of the products listed should be available on german amazon aswell. It just gives you a harsh estimate on the prices you should expect to pay.

Updated to german prices. I had to cut down on some parts, with your budget in mind, but this is probably the best that your money can buy, considering gaming as your primary goal.

Is it useful if I use Irrelevants Build but I change the CPU to a I5 7600K 4x 3.8Ghz and overlock it to 4Ghz. Then I can afford a 1080

Do I need a better cooling system if I want to archive 4.6ghz?
