    What you can see or buy in your country is not my business.

    I'm just trying to show you the hardware needed is going to cost a lot more money.

    The CPU will cost around $200.00 by itself.

    I would suggest you do your own shopping with what ever you can use in the Netherlands.

    Have a nice day.

    Do I need an i5 or will a overclocked i3 be enough?

    Just go AMD, they're cheaper. I sold my i5-4670k on eBay over the weekend for £130 and that's a two year old second hand CPU. You're not going to get a good Intel CPU plus a motherboard for that price range.

    As far as I know, none of the i3 models can be overclocked to any extent worth mentioning.

    That i5-3470 is not an overclocking processor either.

    Get One of these
    One of these
    and One of these

    Probably one of the cheapest combos you can get to do what you want.

    Thank you all for the suggestions.
    I'll mark the thread as solved once I get on my PC.

    In your specs it says you have a 240W PSU. Is that correct?

    Yes.

    I was gonna spend the $200 on a PSU CPU and mobo, but I didnt think it would cost this much :)
