I'm not sure if you will build it yourself, but I'm just going to make a custom build. I'm going to stay in your €1400 budget.

Custom Build (based on intel)

ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM
NZXT Phantom PHAN-001WT White Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-750HX 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - OEM
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMP12GX3M3A1600C9
ASUS MAXIMUS IV EXTREME (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I72600K
Cooler Master COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 120mm sleeve CPU Cooler
OCZ Vertex Series OCZSSD2-1VTX30GXXX 2.5" 30GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

In the united states, this will run you €1152.82 from newegg.

Unfortunately, there may be ridiculous shipping costs assuming you're in Europe so I'm not sure what the price would be.

If you tell me the country you're in I may be able to give you a localized price.

If you're running resolutions higher than 1080p, swap out the 570 with a 6970

SLI/CrossfireX is only useful if you are on a resolution higher than 1080p.

Are you wanting to buy a pre-built or build it yourself?

And guys, I'm pretty sure Newegg doesn't ship to Europe.

Would you be able to provide us with a preferred retailer?
 
the hyper 212 comes with thermal paste. and no i would go dual 580 for his budget.

Case seems kinda meh just looking at it (there are better NZXT towers IMHO), but I'm not a case expert.

Good HDD choice, except there's only one. Not necessarily a problem, but with his budget, why not expand?

And why an Onyx SSD? The read/writes look pretty awful compared to other SSDs, which are pretty much why you even get a solid state to begin with aside from lower mechanical failure rates.

800 (potentially mediocre) watts for SLI GTX 580s? I think he'd be safer with a higher-quality 850w PSU. You could easily cut the RAM down to six, eight, even twelve gigs iF he's doing more than gaming and put it towards a better PSU. I don't know what his preferred retailer is, but with that budget he can probably pick up a SeaSonic X850.

Also related: 16GB... sixteen... gigabytes.. of RAM? wat

Last but not least, why not go with a 2500K to save money? Most gamers aren't going to get enough use out of the improvements an i7 offers. And it's not that I'm knocking Intel but I have to wonder why you chose them over someone like Gigabyte for the mobo. I'm also still iffy about P67s, but that's personal choice I guess.

y not 16gb. and the nzxt m59 case is a great case really good on keeping inside temps low. and really think about it 2tb hdd what is there to put on 2tb hdd it aint like he his going to run a major server, or he does alot of picture editting. i dont know since he has not put what he is really looking for in the build so far its gaming and intel. i do agree on the psu part that was stupid. http://i.imgur.com/vfv7Y.png
 
LoL, 2 TB is way too much hard drive space, but 16 GB is definitely not overkill on the ram...really?

Not to mention, that ssd, case, and power supply are all weak compared to the rest of the build.

I know the Hyper comes with thermal paste, but the Arctic Silver is better.

I did not go with dual 580s because the 570 is a sweet spot and SLI is only useful when you're at 1080p or more. Could I get some feedback on my build?
