Ahh, I see.

Well, here's the thing. As most sites like that do, they are overcharging you for underpowered parts. It's not a good deal, and you could make a MUCH better system if you built yourself. Would you be willing to look at doing that?

Also, why Nvidia preference? It's fine, just curious. Right now AMD has an upper hand in the gaming sector, due to better bang-for-buck.

If you could answer those questions I think we can get started
Here's what I'm thinking
-2500k CPU
Gigabyte Z68 mobo
-2 GTX 570's. Yes, 2!
-nice case
-850w PSU

Cheers!

Well, when you put it like that, it is pretty hard to say no, haha. So yes, let's build a new system from scratch xD.

The only condition is basicaly I have to be able to get it in Bremen, germany. (plus maximum of 1386$ / 1000€

Thanks a lot might

Cheers!
