    Sorry but are you just looking for a case and motherboard?
    Also that CPU is overclockable so if not looking to overclock you could possibly get something cheaper.

    Yeah pretty much a case motherboard and ram, and potentially a gpu for future. I read online that you need ddr4 for skylake or at least for most lga1151 mobos is this true?

    I believe most/some are backwards compatible but if you need new ram anyway, probably best get some tastey ddr4 if its not too expensive. Depending on what games your playing and what resolution your playing at, you GPU might still be fine.

    GPU needs an upgrade imo

    8gb DDR4 is about €58, worth it

    Put €60 to RAM, €130 to an overclockable board and the rest into a R9 390 or something similar
