This will be my first time building the pc myself! I'm no expert yet with the model numbers and have no idea what the ''bang for buck''' ratio's are, so please help me out dear TH! Thanks in advance! :)

Approximate Purchase Date: I don't mind, I'm in no hurry at all!

Budget Range: €1500.

System Usage: Gaming.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes, a 120Hz one. Not sure which one yet if you got any recommendations please share!

Parts to Upgrade: Everything.

Do you need to buy OS: No.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I don't mind.

Location: The Netherlands

Parts Preferences: I don't mind. But please elaborate why'd you chose a brand over another so I can learn from that.

Overclocking: Maybe, if I learn how to do this!

SLI or Crossfire: I don't mind. But please elaborate why'd you chose i.e crossfire over SLI so I can learn from that.

Your Monitor Resolution: Currently running 1280x1024 (ugh!) and willing to upgrade to 1920x1080.

Additional Comments: I would like a quiet PC, I am a competitive Tribes Ascend player and unfortunately I just get up to 50~60 fps on very low settings, the game looks amazingly good on max, so I would atleast want to run this game on max and have a steady 120 fps.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Outdated components!

Cheers,

That gives you € 180 to add whatever monitor you want. I suggest a good 1080P 24" display.
