    Yeah it's fine, I'd strongly recommend an Intel based build though, as before. Do you want a parts list?

    First, is this strictly a gaming PC?

    Zalman Z4 €20
    500w PSU €60
    8gb RAM €50
    1tb HDD €55
    250gb SSD €85
    H97 board €70
    i3 4160 €115
    R9 280X €195 second hand.

    Might be a bit closer to €700 than you want but larger SSD so your call. Can get cheaper motherboards or PSUs to bring price down a little.

    Simple as changing board to S1150 and getting an i5-4460. Shouldn't cost much more and will be way stronger for gaming.

    See lemon that is why it's advised to use the forum template so people can help you build around your intentions.

    cuts out alot of guesswork.
