After a lot of thought I went with these:

psu: Cooler master V700

ssd: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250 Go

hard drive: Western Digital Red 2To

ventillation: case fans + 5 be quiet Shadow Wings 120mm

 

monitor: Dell U2414H (the bezel is sooooo thin! would be perfect for surround!)

bulding was painless exept for a few things:

I couldn't get the ssd tray out, my boyfriend had to take it out for me, same thing with the front and top covers :(

cable management isn't the best yet but I want to get sleeved cables so... and the fan hub is great but not tha easy to cable manage ^^
