Everything seems about right, should be able to handle anything for 2 or 3 years, depends on how tech moves from then on. If you really cant wait for the GTX1070 to get to the stores, problably around august, then GTX970 is the best for that price atm.
If Vulkan becomes a thing, and it looks that it just might, a R9 390X might stand better for the future, see if you can get one for that price or lower.

Hey guys,
So, just as the title suggests, I'm looking to buy a new PC. I'll be mostly using it for gaming and movies/music. I live in Europe (not in a 1st world country) and my current budget is somewhere between 1k-1.5k euros. I know that buying parts and fitting them myself in a PC would be the absolute cheapest option, but I'm not the greatest whizkid when it comes to building PCs. I've only had desktop PCs when I was younger, and I currently own a 2009 laptop that's pretty much at the end of its life, thus pretty much anything would be an improvement.
From what I've seen online, my best chance would be to live in the US, which I don't. Unfortunately, as I understand, options for me are a bit more limited, especially since I don't live in Germany/UK (which look like the more powerful IT markets), and my country's currency isn't actually euro.
However, I managed to use reddit's bang-for-your-buck guide (https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds) and got the following build:
As a side-note, I'm not into playing games at the highest settings with everything maxxed out and so on. I can play games on medium-high settings without problems. So, would this be relatively future-proof build? If not, let me know what I should change/what are the better options here.
I've found a similar build on iBuyPower.de (the german site) for ~1200 euros (monitor+keyboard+mouse included). Would that be a better option? I'm not sure about a good gaming monitor that wouldn't crack my wallet, so I just picked a sort of bundle for the iBuyPower PC.
Thanks for your time. :)
P.S. There's gonna be a giveaway here in a few days, I just need to sort out all my keys and see what's been used already. :p
