    Where you buying from.

    I7 k is overkill. If your not going to overclock it.
    The case I'd go with the carbide 200r
    And power supply of that watt at that price looks iffy.

    Would the I5 be better? I had that originally but a few people convinced me I may as well go for the I7.
    At the moment from a multitude of places including newEgg.
    Just checked the price of the power supply. It's originally €88.34 but is reduced at the moment.

    You won't be able to buy from Newegg unfortunately, they don't ship to Europe.

    Whats your budget and what monitor do you currently have?
    Are you going to be overclocking the processor and graphics card?

    That board also only has support for Crossfire(AMD) and not SLI(NVIDIA) if you were planning on adding a second card down the line(Maybe someone could correct me). 750 Watt is total overkill if you have no plan of adding a second card and a 500 Watt power supply would be more than enough.

    If you have the budget then go for the I7 if not the i5. Also you can get a much better graphics card than the GTX 760. Could you fill this out below so people can help you better.

    Ìt's for a project so at the moment it's theoretical. Doesn't matter if they don't ship here. They'll just get us to swap it around if we have to physically build it, and we more likely than not won't. Don't have a budget because of this, and no current monitor that applies, just the one I have listed. Overclocking yes, the graphics card comes pre overclocked. I'll check out the power supply because I had no plans to include adding a second card.

    If you have no plans on overclocking the processor then get a Xeon or an I5 with no K at the end.
