So this is the thing, I have a budget of around 1000 to buy everything to build a desktop but since I'm new to this I dun rlly know if the parts are compatible and/or if there are better parts available or cheaper ones so I'll list everything I have until now here (btw I have a case already and that budget doesn't account for keyboard monitor and mouse)

DISK 3.5" TOSHIBA 2TB 87,13 €
Graphic card GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 960 4GB OC WINDFORCE 219,43 €
MOTHERBOARD ASUS Z170-K 136,77 €
2x 8GB (1X8GB) DDR4 2400MHZ BALLISTIX SPORT 64,94 €
POWER SUPPLY SEASONIC S12II-620 620W 76,99 €

CPU:

Could you please answer [thread=80121]these questions[/thread]?

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
???

2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
1000 what? I assume Euros?

3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
???

4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
We can't be expected to scour the internet on your behalf, chasing down deals in your specific country... Again, help us, help YOU.
??? Is your country listed on http://www.pcpartpicker.com/?

5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.

6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Include keyboard, mouse, and monitor if you have these.

7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.

8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?

9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Note that it is usually not cost or time effective to choose your build more than a month before you actually plan to be using it.

10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?

Edit: P.S. the 960 is very likely the wrong graphics card for you. Because it's always the wrong card. :p

That's an unusual resolution. More of a square aspect ratio, huh? This computer deserves a GTX 1070, or maybe a 1060. But the 1060s aren't out yet. So let's go with a 1070 for 499,00 €. :)o)

So let's save you some €. An i5-6600 is good enough for a non-overclocker.

You can [thread=2479523]consider an H110 board[/thread] as well. Such a board seems like a good idea if your budget is tight, since you didn't include an SSD in your build. And you should get at least a small SSD.
