Hello fellow folks, today I have decided to chose parts to build up a computer but I am not sure on what to choose, My budget is 1450 and currently I am in vacation in Romania but I am from Italy so it has to be done with Amazon Italy prices, My preferences would be : 144hz asus vg248qe,i7 6700k and 1070 and the NZXT s340 as its an easy case to mount on, but it may require a fan for intake. I would also like that the motherboard/PSU are very good and not cheap, as material can be a big factor and usually I just want to be safe than sorry. I would very much appreciate your kind time to put in a gaming rig at about that budget.

Closest I could get, i5 and no SSD. Mount the top fan in the front of the case blowing in.

I was working it up including all of your "required components" and it was over 1,500 without an operating system.. That's why I was asking about the I7...switching to an I5, keeps you in budget.. Even with an I5 (such as the build above, which is a nice build) you're cutting corners on that budget. If you're not overclocking, there is NO need to get a K chip cpu.

And when you can find the additional money, I would throw in an SSD as a boot drive.
Something like this: Crucial MX300 275GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (€89.99 @ Amazon Italia)

or this Crucial MX300 275GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive (€94.91 @ Amazon Italia)

Just know the motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6Gb/s port is disabled. That should not be a big deal in this case.
