Regarding;

Country you live in it would help me consider options if you could tell me what country your reside in. for my listing of your system I will select Germany, let me know if this is not correct.

Ram your G-Skill Aegis DDR4 3000 Mhz 8GB cost 91 Euro @ best from what I see and that is a 1x8GB (single channel not a dual channel chip)
which will mean you will have to get 2x8GB kit (dual channel to upgrade to 16GB) meaning you will have to buy it all over again. which I find a waste of money as putting 2x8GB single sided ram will only do nothing more then 16GB single sided not dual sided. (not the same chipset on a ram stick)
I would get instead of wasting money: G.Skill Value DDR4-2666 2x8GB 16GB €174.95...

1. with INTEL CPOU I would not bother getting any RAM over DDDR4-2666 in speed, not worth the few % speed increase for the cash value of it, but that is only my opinion. REF : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Yt4vSZKVk&t=476s

2. you did not mention how much ram you will be using, depending on the game you will use/paly 8GB or more likely 16GB will be needed
Ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t4uLh2ZK04

3. curious why you chose the SATA SSD over an M.2 SSD (3x faster) was it because of the cost ?

Yeah your are right...the ram is just an investment on the future.In 4-5 months i will buy another 8 gb for dual channeling.I will need 8 GB for some games now but later with heavy games 16 GB will be necessary.
I chose the satta ssd cause the prices in my country :
(Samsung 860 Evo 500GB (111 euros)
Samsung 860 Evo M.2 500GB (127 euros)
Samsung 960 Evo NVMe M.2 250GB (98 euros)
Samsung 960 Evo NVMe M.2 500GB (166 euros)
Samsung 970 Evo NVMe M.2 250GB (103 euros)
and i want space (i need at least 500 gb ssd)..u think is better idea to take 860 evo M2 500GB? but specs are quite the same with 860 evo (not m2) and 960 500 gb is very expensive...

What do you think about psu? Is enough 750 watt? And cpu cooler is enough or i will have overheating issues?
Thanks in advance :)

SSD I understand that 500GB is more needed than 1500 MB/S (M.2) versus 500 MB/S (SATA) performance, but maybe later your next SSD will be M.2 drive. but chop spending on the case and you could get a nice fast Samsung MZ-V7E500BW 970 Evo M.2-2280 SSD 500GB for €175.84 (ref https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/P4ZFf7/samsung-970-evo-500gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-mz-v7e500bw)

Video Card you failed to mention what video card you intended to use with this new system

Case personally I believe if you can spend over 100 Euros for a case you need to get a 75 euro case and get better internal components. but to each their own.

Power supply your system runs about 200W (without a video card) so I will take a guess a 750 will be a bit overkill, you likely even with a GTX1070 video card run a 550W without an issue. (I suggest one below listing) and save from a 140 Euros 750 and use it to better the internal of your system.

all this said I suggest revisiting your system in this fashion, you can compare it to the price you are looking to pay, again price may change once you tekll me what country your in.

Thank you for your answer,
I am from Greece,prices are cheaper or the same in most cases.
You are right about ram and ssd.I will gather more money to buy Evo 960 500GB M.2 and i will buy a set of 2 modules 16 GB ram to take advantage of dual channeling.I ordered the case 2 weeks ago because i just loved it :p
My pc total price in greece is 970 for all of that (evo 960 and 16 gb ram included).
I have some questions though if you have time to answer them of course my friend.(I want GPU CARD 1060 GTX 6GB by Asus but i am going to wait 2-3 months for new cards and money of course to buy one.)
-Why ram only 2666 and not 3200? I've found G.Skill RipjawsV 16GB DDR4-3200MHz at 160 euros,is it ok?
-I am very worried about cpu cooler for my i5 8600K though...is Gammaxx GT RGB enough or i need to buy an ugly Noctua UH12S?
-PSU ok,i will take a 650Watt instead of 750 because in the future i will overclock the cpu and i will need it.But is the brand corsair good or i will need a seasonic focus plus because is a better psu?

Thanks in advance
