I would opt for the GTX 760 ($250) in a low end system like this. According to Tom's Hardware "this is the upper end of the spectrum for gaming on a 1920x1080 display, and it's more accessible than ever"

I would also never get an i3 chip. Just not enough power for me... since I do more than game. I would opt for and i5-4570 at $190 (mking the op spec $60 more expensive) though I would want the i7-4770k for any real work.

Personally I'd go with the i5-4670K.

Getting it at the speed of the 4770K is easy and hyper-threading doesn't mean much most of the time, yet the 100 € less that it costs are the difference between a GTX760 and a GTX 770, and that would be very noticeable in games.

Yep. The speed difference is negligable at best when it comes to games performance. For general usage the i7 would be better, but for games.. it much more worthwhile to invest the best GPU you can afford.
