    Thanks for the post, i am currently gaming at 1080p but at very low quality hence the upgrade, i was thinking of getting a Rosewill Computer Case - CHALLENGER - ATX Mid Tower - Black but im not sure if thats a good one, one of my friends said it was a reasonably priced case with room for upgrades

    It's got very good ratings on Newegg so I'd say go for it if reasonably priced.

    This'll handle GTAV and TW3 at 60fps Ultra

    With the €1500 budget, you could have the room to bump up the graphics card or processor to a GTX 980 (~€490) or a i5 4690k (~€220)

    Agreed, but totally overkill for a 1080p monitor, and the k i5 is not necessary if he doesn't want to overclock.
