My friend told me he is going to buy a new PC. He told me that I could build a PC for him. He has a budget of 700-800€, max 900€. He wanted a sound card aswell(Xonar DX?). Also, he wanted NVIDIA for video card. So could u guys look for some parts for me?

Ty, Pepsi

you can cut off about 100€ with Phenom 2 X4 920 & Gainward GTX 260 C216 if the 900€ is too salty.

I was thinking of a similar system, but with EVGA GTX 260 & Corsair 750W(only like $10 different)

Sidepanel fans often actually just fuck up the airflow. Best to keep intake at front low, exhaust top/back high. If you put a fan push air sideways into that kinda airflow design, it just makes temps worse.
TJ-10 I have is pretty sweet for SLi, the intake air goes between the cards so even with 3-way SLi there wouldn't be dead spots for airflow.

945 is like 40€ more expensive. Budget doesn't go that far.

e: fixed price, and getting slower than 920 and going DDR3 would be just bad trade.

Is that a correct assumption???

That Mugen 2 won't fit CM 690 case.
