something like this if you are willing to overclock... you should be ok with the 1GB GPU but if you are going to multi monitor or anything above 1080p upgrade to the 2GB one.. it's a little over-budget you could save money by dropping down the CPU and Mobo to non overclockable one but you're limiting the useful life of it by doing so.. but for a purely gaming build the GPU is more important.. you could drop the SSD but you are giving up alot of spedd regarding boot time and general use

For overall performance it's pretty much as good as you can get in the price range.. Again.. You could sacrifice some boot times and general system speed and stuff by dropping the SSD. And also save a few € by getting a smaller drive. And pump the extra €100 or so into a better graphics card.. The parts i included give you good future proffing as the mothrtboard supports crossfire.. And overclocking of the cpu.
