    Core i5 6600K: €235
    BeQuiet CPU Cooler Dark Rock Pro 3: €50
    MSI Z170A Motherboard: €130
    8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM: €40
    2TB Seagate Barricuda: €70
    Samsung EVO 850 256GB SSD(can bump up to more): €90
    NZXT H440 Case: €130
    GPU (will explain below)
    XFX TS Series 650W PSU: €70
    Windows OS: €110 legit or €40 from sites like Kinguin etc.
    Keyboard: Take a look around at these. I don't know if you want clicky, loud, mechanical or RGB keyboards. I currently use the Steelseries Apex M800 andI love it (got it in sale though, as it is expensive)
    Mouse: I use the Steelseries Rival 300 and am very satisfied. The Rival 700 looks good for that extra thumb button and vibration support.
    Monitor: Acer has an IPS 1440P monitor for around €165 at Scan.co.uk
    Total: €810+ GPU, Monitor, Peripherals
    June will see the launch of new GPUs from AMD and nVidia, so hold out until then. If they don't perform as good as the current flagships, I recommend buying the Fury X or the 980Ti.
