For the moment i've got my eye on current set-up, though suggestions for improvement (on same budget) or to cut down the budget are welcome:

  • MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming
  • i5-4670K
  • Scythe Mugen 4 PCGH
  • 16Gb Crucial DDR3 (1600)
  • MSI N770 TF 2GD5/OC
  • Corsair Carbide 300R (window kit)
  • Corsair CX600M
  • standard DVD-writer
Should set me back some 1000€'s but should get me back up to date and future-proof for a few years

me personally, I'd only change the memory to Corsair as they have a lifetime warranty meaning at anytime it goes faulty you can RMA it and get a new replacement

I'd go for a gigabyte motherboard as they are much better with sending replacements should it break.

Crucial also do lifetime warranty.

Ordered most of it last week with a few tweaks/budget cuts:

Current set up includes (already up and running as we speak):

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Mobo
I5-4670K with boxed cpu cooler at this moment, will change cooler when i start overclocking
8Gb Corsair Vengeance (1600mhz) memory at this time, will add some more when prices drop on RAM
Corsair CX600M
Fractal Design R4 Black Pearl

Still waiting for my
24" screen (currently running at 17') and my GTX770, should arrive this week so i'm looking forward to the holidays :p
