Hello.
After getting a student job in IT department, I earned enough money to buy a new pc to replace a very old one .
I already ordered new components and they should arrive by the end of the week (maybe in 2 weeks since PSU and motherboard are no longer available in the warehouse).
Here is a list of components:
Motherboard: Asus Z97-A
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97A/
PSU: Seasonic G-550 (80 PLUS Gold)
http://seasonic.com/product/g-550/
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2x4GB kit, might upgrade to 16GB if needed)

CPU: i7-4790
http://ark.intel.com/products/80806/Intel-Core-i7-4790-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_00-GHz
CPU cooler: Hyper 212 EVO

GPU: GTX 970 Strix
https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/STRIXGTX970DC2OC4GD5/
I will also be using my old computer case which still looks decent, and no it's not like using a new engine on volkswagen beetle

Pictures coming soon...
EDIT: Parts have been bought from a german webshop: http://www.computeruniverse.net/
Since Germany has lowest hardware prices in Europe, you can save a lot of money by ordering from german shops (otherwise, I would probably pay more than €1400).
