You could go to a X99 build with a 5820K. For what you want to do with it that sounds better, though of course the i7-6700K is an adequate cpu as well. I can't add more ram in the tool I use, I suggest starting with 32GB – but do not really know how much you will need.

Remarks and answers:

1. pcpartpicker has a mode for germany (at the top right). You can buy in the shops it uses, and it is important to base your build on german prices since they are different over here
The case I have in there is my suggestion, a cheaper version of the R4. The R4 you picked is a good case, there is also the R5 as its improved successor. If you like it, it will sure work for you.
The Fury X is a similar suggestion, powerful and will save a bit – though it is possible you are bound to Nvidia for the game development?
* http://www.prad.de/ has some display tests. I suggest you look for a 1440p 27" display with an IPS panel, something like the Dell U2715H. Strive for freesync if you will play maybe more than it sounded.

Not a bad build but you need to consider a better power supply. The ones that come bundled with cases are almost always trash.

I usually go with XFX power supplies. They're rebranded Seasonic designs and the build quality is rock solid.

Its not easy buying in Ireland but if your upgrading the graphics card shortly you look on ebay.ie for an older second hand one for the meantime.
The build looks good but you can save a few euros on

I wouldn't skimp on the PSU or case because they'll last you if there good, though 650W is a little high for a single GPU setup and that mobo doesn't support SLI (have to pay a premium for SLI mobo) and limits memory speed to 1600. For mobo unless you want all the features of a H97, a cheaper model will be would fine. Goodluck with the build.

The TS 650 is the only choice in my mind. Not only do you not want this to happen again you also want to provide your motherboard,cpu,gpu and data drives with clean stable power to ensure their longevity and reliability as well

PSU is so important for so many reasons. When you trust hundreds of dollars of equipment to it there is literally no reason not to spend an extra $20.

I wouldn't really trust any of the PSUs on that list. You could get this which is more expensive but is a high quality PSU though non-modular. Given that you are splashing out on the CPU quite heavily, as the 6700k is far more than you need for pure gaming, it doesn't make sense that you skimp on the PSU; the component which will likely cause most harm if it is substandard - or the motherboard.

Can't say whether or not the PSU actually the problem, but if you're going to get a new one, I wouldn't go with the VS. I'd start with the CX450M as a minimum. For something really good, try the Vengeance or the XFX TS Gold.

Why don't you buy this one?

Looks better and costs less!

I've done a QUICK search regarding that PSU and this is what came up first: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1988049/coolermaster-elite-500w-psu-dangerous-computer.html

I'd advise you to get a better PSU. I personally am buying this one:

You even get a 5y warranty!
