Hey guys,
I just joined your forum, because a friend of mine recommended it and told me you give solid advice :)
So first of all: Hello everyone.
Today I am posting here because this year will be the first time I actually want to build a gaming PC myself.
My budget is around 1000€ for the PC itself, I will buy the "extras" another time or use my old stuff.
Because it is my first time building I am unsure if the parts I chose will actually work together smoothly.
I will give you the list of my selected parts, if you want could you please comment on it and tell me how I can improve my build or give recommendations for other parts?
Sadly I can't buy any parts from newegg, beacause I live in Germany...
Anyways, here is my list :)
Sorry for the formatting issues, the preview looked horrible and I could'nt fix it... God I feel retarded...

(Sorry for German Link, but I could not find it on Amazon...)
Case: I am not sure yet, Advice appreciated ;)
DVD Burner: Still have one, no need for a new one
So what do you think? Is it ok? Does everything work so far?
Thank you so much for answers :)
Definitely go with at least a 750W modular power supply, that way it'll not be working too stressfully and you will have plenty of room for upgrades in the future.
As for a case, depending on your overall budget left, perhaps a coolermaster HAF XM?
This is a german site correct?
