The SSD i a good choise, quality for the cash.
If you ever think of going SLI chose another case.
Can get crowded in that one..
I would go for a Antec P280 or CM690.
And depending on your budget, i would go for AMD FX cpu. More cash for the rest... :)
- I doubt that i will ever go for SLI. That GTX 680 should be enough for some time. But i just saw that the CPU cooler is too big for that case, because the 200 mm build in case fan (left side of the case) goes to deep inside. Gonna take a look at that Antec's....
- i could get 16384MB Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 1600MHz for 23 € extra...
- budget is OK, im still ~ 100 € under my max so ive got space for some extras :) Plus i would always take a intel CPU :P
It actually more thrown away money then profit from performance.
- Take Intel Core i5 3570K, unless you really need hyperthreading
I would personally spend less money and upgrade sooner, the price/performance with a card like the GTX660ti is better, and you can easly upgrade later.
Also 16gb is a bit overkill, I have 8 and only use like half of it @ gaming, but with the low RAM prices it is future proof so 16gb is also fine. I would take a brand like G Skill or Corsair (Ripjaws / Vengeance)
Rest looks fine
- i am rly unsure about the CPU and definitely gonna take a look at this
- i just want the gtx 680 :D even when i know its not rly necessary

Antec Kühler H2O 620 Hydro (Sockel Intel/AMD)(0761345-77085
How about the Antec Kühler H2O 620 Hydro? :D
take a look at corsair, http://www.corsair.com/en/cpu-cooling-kits/hydro-series-water-cooling-cpu-cooler.html, they provide very similar coolers. Especially the H60 and H100 are amazing ( though I guess you're on a budget.. )
Ditch the I7, go for the I5 - 3570k instead, the only real advantage you get is the Hyper Threading which no "average" or "normal" PC user will ever require.
I'd recommend going with the Thermalright Macho HR-02 instead, cheaper and slightly better. The Mugen is great but fairly dated.
Motherboard's decent, but might want to look into MSI Z77A G43, cheaper and offers the same if not more. Perhaps even the G45 if you feel the necessity.
GPU's fine, not my personal choice but fairly decent.
PSU is way overkill, look into a 400-450W, you won't ever need more for this rig unless you most definitely plan on upgrading to SLI/CrossFire. be quiet comes to mind http://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/248
RAM you may want to look into Corsair Vengeance or Samsung sticks ( http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/samsung_green_ddr3l/ ) , very resistance and reliable when OC'd and a lot less prone to failure. The Samsung' are actually very cheap as of right now.
The SSD is albeit not as popular and very liked, I love it. Been running the same model in my HTPC for a while now.
HDD's fine, though you could get WD CaviarBlack instead for the same price +/- 10EUR which will do slightly better.
oh wait... :D

Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
Samsung 830 SSD 128GB
Corsair Vengeance LowProfile 16GB DDR3 1600MHz
Cooler: Macho or Mugen, the Macho is slightly bigger and a pain in the ass to install if you don't have a very long screw driver.
I can also recommend the Bitfenix Shinobi case if you want to save some money. Should you decide to get the windowed version, buy a Mugen instead of the Macho.
If you use your PC only for gaming, save some money and get 2x4GB RAM. If you need more, you can always put another kit in it. Also remember that when using 16GB RAM, you will lose 32GB of disk space on your SSD (16GB for the hibernation file and 16GB for the pagefile).
