I'm gonna use it for gaming, listening to music and just the normal stuff. I'm pretty noob to this so feel free to help me out. This is what I've been looking at atm:

CPU Cooler: https://www.komplett.dk/cooler-master-hyper-tx3-evo-cpu-kler/657094

Motherboard: I'm thinking MSI but I have no clue what to pick honestly.

Videocard: https://www.komplett.dk/msi-geforce-gtx-970-gaming-4gb-physx/824861

SSD: https://www.komplett.dk/samsung-ssd-850pro-256gb/820610 or https://www.komplett.dk/samsung-850-evo-250gb-ssd/828769

Storage: https://www.komplett.dk/wd-red-2tb-nas-harddrive/757762

Memory: No idea. All I know is that I need 8 GB and 1600MHz?

Case: https://www.komplett.dk/fractal-design-define-r5-titanium/824391

Processor: https://www.komplett.dk/intel-core-i5-4690k/817262

Powersupply: https://www.komplett.dk/xfx-proseries-black-edition-750w-psu/780494

Operating System: https://www.komplett.dk/microsoft-windows-81/798722

I'm really curious about the difference between the two CPU's. AMD and Intel. From what I've read I only need i5 for gaming but on the other hand many people say I would be paying way to much when I could get the same for less with AMD. What is the main difference between them? I've also read some people say AMD runs hot.

Also if you have any other input it would be great. I live in EU so prices doesnt change as fast as in the US that's why I'm starting to do some research now.

Most games can't utilize the full potential of AMD's multicore CPU's. Intel CPU's have more efficient cores (each individual Intel core does more work than each individual AMD core) which is why they're way better on single threaded applications. Until games start using more cores, there really isn't a reason to get an AMD CPU unless you're looking for a good value:money ratio.

Even if AMD's run hot, that can be solved with a cooler, which you're already getting. I've dropped 10-15ºC at idle and 25-30ºC at max with my FX-6300 and Hyper 212 EVO.

Both intel and amd CPUs are great nowadays. What they meant is that with the extra money saved by getting amd cpu, you can get a better GPU which will give more difference to your naked eye than btwn the CPUs. Also with proper cable management and/or after market cpu cooler, heat is not a problem.

Really just depends on how much you save based on the sale at the time, like if you can get amd FX series with 970 at the same cost going i5 with 280x or sth, amd would be the better choice. If it's FX series with 280x and i5 with 280, might as well go i5.

So between Intel Core i5-4690K and any of these https://www.komplett.dk/search?bn=11204&category=11204_Processorer&cnet=Type_A00035++%C2%A7FX&manufacturer=AMD&q=*%3A*&subcategory=11204_Processorer what would be best? What AMD basicly does the same thing as the i5?

I've also read that Noctua is good for air cooling, is this true? https://www.komplett.dk/search?bn=10462&category=10462_Bl%C3%A6sere%2Fk%C3%B8lere%2Fvandk%C3%B8ling&manufacturer=Noctua&q=*%3A*&sort=OrderedTimes_bf%3ADESCENDING&subcategory=10547_CPU+%E2%80%93+Luftk%C3%B8ling

What MSI motherboard should I get? I dont want to pay for something that I wont use.

Regarding storage, would hybrid or https://www.komplett.dk/wd-red-2tb-nas-harddrive/757762 this kinda be good?

Also unsure on GPU.

Why don't u give us a budget and someone will throw a buuld together for you and then u can ask why they picked those parts

Because I dont have a certain budget. I basicly want to build my pc arround GTX 970. After some more reading I think I'm gonna go with AMD instead of Intel though, just need to figure out what model.

don't get a 970
