Seen mention of some German website bit it looks very unprofessional,

What I'm planning is i5 6600 h170 mboard 16gb ddr4 and a decent GPU, not interested in games this will be a workstation,

Any tips,

Mindfactory.de is the cheapest by far, and doesn't look "unprofessional" to me.
If you're building a workstation, is it thread heavy? Because you might be able to get an Intel Xeon processor for about €240, which is an i7 in performance for the Z97/H97 series.
