If you havent purchased yet I half agree with others. Would get a different power supply and would definitely spend more on the graphics, ideally, an R9 390.
Processor is not as important as graphics processor.

Ehm... Okay....
what's wrong with the power supply? (it's cheaper than the cx600 since there's a discount)

i dont have money for the 970 nor 390 so i'll have to stick with the 380

The cx line is bad. Though I will say Denmark has bad choices for PSU as a whole. I went with a CS model instead which is a slight step up. If you have the budget, there is a nice xfx one for 20 euros more. I just didnt take the time to calculate anything.

Otherwise this is the build I recommend to denmark.

If you are on a limited budget do not bother with an overpriced processor and motherboard. You should be spending a lot more on graphics than you do a processor. CPU does not = performance. Gpu does.

it would help if you told us your actual budget, is it around $900 USD or €900?
I wouldn't get the CS line either,
cheaper and much higher quality with this one http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/super-flower-power-supply-sf550p14xehx

Aw I missed that one because I filtered for modular.
This is the xfx i was referring to. My pick for modular. Secksii agree (as far as modular goes)? XTR is seasonic.

yes that's seasonic, but I wouldn't pay that much extra for a full modular
if modular is a huge deal, http://de.pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr550rm

JoneZ, so if ur budget is $900USD, u can buy anywhere from the states except for newegg?
pretty sure the shipping costs will be high to denmark, why not buy from de.pcpartpicker instead?

I forgot to mention that I've been told by someone who i built for in denmark, that Amazon.de does not ship to denmark and mindfactory is out of stock, so that's actually not an option (except at 110 euros)

I believe that the one i selected is the cheapest (any) modular psu that will ship to denmark. I do agree the price is a little steeper, but its not too far off the usual difference between modular/non modular (22 dollars)


But anyway it appears your first mockup isn't entirely accurate unless you can get those exact prices.
this is the best i could do with that budget once euros is translated to usd if the shipping cost is accurate

As you can see, even if i went with the cheaper processor option i still only had enough budget to fit in a 280/960. This is the cheapest 4gb card i saw.
So even if you had gone with the newer intel processor, you wouldnt have had any budget for a 280/960
