Ok so after a little research ive figured im gonna need to up my budget to 450 euros
Im currently looking at:

Intel - Core i5-7500 3.4GHz Quad-Core
And either
Gigabyte - GA-B250N-Phoenix WIFI Mini ITX
or
Asus - STRIX B250I GAMING Mini ITX

So, does anyone have any experience with this motherboards? I like the gigabyte a bit better because of more usb ports in the back. But other than that they seem exactly the same, only 10 bucks difference.

Plus 16gb of ram thats around 150 bucks... i'll see whats in the store

All this to fit on a Cougar qbx case :) and i have a psu and a 970 gtx waiting for this

Happy to hear your opinion guys!

Cheers

Update:
I noticed my old PSU has the 4 pin connector for the motherboard, and this 2 i listed have 8 pin sockets, will the 4 pins be enough or can i get an adapter to feed more power from another molex?
