This may seem an odd question but you have a $2000 budget but are looking to use a TV as a monitor? What specs is the tv 4k, 1080, 720.. Do you know the refresh rate.. You are going to get a lot of computer for 2 thousand and 99.9% of TV's will significantly underperform for the hardware you will have. I would recommend purchasing a good monitor with some of that 2k.

no idea about denmark prices, however, i would focus an unlocked i5 (4670k/4690k) and a nvidia gtx 960 along with a Z97 board and a cooler master hyper 212 evo.
also don't know what kind of resolution you plan on playing at, 1080p/1440p/4k? and what screen size
no idea on sound cards tbh.

Thanks, will give those a look.
Any common/normal resolution will do.
As for screen size i pref. a meduim sized screen rather then a big one.

Prices can be found here if that's any help.

Thanks ;)

Do you actually need an additional sound card? Most mobos come with an onboard one of some kind.

What do you mean by medium screen? 24-27 inches I assume? Everyone has their own view on a perfect monitor size ;)

Maybe something like that? Don't have time to plow through the de PC sites.

Roughly what you should try to get.
Ignore what I said as you want stock cooling.

You might even consider waiting for skylake locked cpus.
Maybe. Idk. Lol
