    Seems to be well-rounded with room for upgrades later. Power supply is adequate, enough RAM for gaming, powerful CPU that will last you some years, good mainboard, SSD, good video card, and a great case...

    Yeah, this is good.

    NZXT, y u no ship to Germany ;_;

    Edit: It's a very good idea to use a Xeon. i7 is unnecessary because it's just a Xeon with a cheap GPU included, and you already have a discrete video card. While an i5 would surely have been enough for gaming, a Xeon will ensure that you can keep up with games development. It's difficult to get higher clocks than 3-4 GHz without crazy cooling, so in the future there will be more and more multi-threading in games, which means the more threads you have the better.

    Replace your i7 with a Xeon 1230 or greater. Looks like you've done this. Your graphics card is more than adequate and a good choice, I wouldn't bother waiting.
