New Gaming Rig ~1000 (EUR)

@RCoon Thank you for the insight. I think this will be my final build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GbtR7P

That's a great set of selections, if you do not intend much overclocking you could get a cheaper CPU cooler over the H100i if needed. You could go for like an Hyper212 Evo to save some money and still overclock to about 4.5ghz if needed.

Though I think that rig you will be pretty happy with!

@BarbaricSoul Thank you for the build suggestion. Unfortunately, the GTX 980 costs at least 540 Euro's here, so that is a no-go!
Also, the PSU you mentioned is not available in my country sadly. I guess I could switch out the CPU Cooler, but that makes the build not a slick looking as with a Corsair H100i GTX. Same about the RAM in this case.

Nevertheless, I appreciate your input very much!

Pointless to have 3000mhz ram with an i3. You won't be able to run that speed since you can't tweak the memory with those chips. Memory controller is on the chip and native ddr4 speed is 2133 for Intel Skylake, so anything over that is considered an overclock.

They got a marked difference with 2666 vs 2133 here: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-intel-core-i3-6100-review
