Hello George (not that we really care what your name is )

Unfortunately, even though you specified Euro as currency, you didn't give a country, so I compile a parts list in the US.

I believe it will be at the lower range of your price and give great gaming results. Of course, you can swap out the video card for a Nvidia if you prefer. Usually AMD give s a little price/performance advantage.

8 Gig of RAM should be sufficient and you can always upgrade alter if it seems to be a bottleneck.

Bear in mind that you will have a little issue with installing Windows on the computer, since your case does not support a CD/DVD drive (or any external bay for that matter). SO you should order a USB 2.0 external DVD/CD drive or read up on how to Install WIndows from a USB stick.

Well, use this list to help guide your search for a PSU on the 600W+ range: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

As for the Cooler, see if you can find the NZXT Kraken on that site.

Nooo.... that's for graphics cards. You don't' want that.

This may do the trick: http://www.eworld.com.gr/products/details/2909

 

[Jo-Ji]

oh yeah i didn't notice it says gpu...

 

[Karsten75]

I just posted a link to this: http://www.eworld.com.gr/products/details/2909

 

[Jo-Ji]

i think i found the CPU Cooler you suggested me in the beggining http://www.bestprice.gr/item/2153940816/nzxt-kraken-x60.html?fromq=NZXT+KRAKEN+X60
but it is too expensive and i don't know if it is worth to spend 160 euro for an cpu cooler what is your opinion?

 

[Karsten75]

That's the NZXT Kraken X60. It's a serious cooler for overclocking. THe NZXT Kraken X40 is a single-radiator at (EU) 100. Or use the cooler here: http://www.eworld.com.gr/products/details/2909 that's only (EU)50 and will do the job nicely.
