GAMER :)
EVGA 01G-P3-1465-AR GeForce GTX 465 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - $199.99 (If you can afford it, I'd spend a little more and go with the GTX560, but this card is just as good... and I would go with a good name brand, like EVGA, ASUS, or MSI)
Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - $49.99 (Big fan of modular power supplies, they make builds so much easier)
Patriot G Series ‘Sector 5’ Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model PGV34G1600ELK - $49.99 (haven't seen much on XMP enabled 6 series memory, but this should work just fine.. 4GB is all you need, but if you want to double it to 8, knock yourself out)
ASUS P8H67-M LE (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - $104.99 (I'm all over the place when it comes to recommending a good motherboard. ASUS tends to be the most reliable out there. As I mentioned, if you want to overclock you're going to need to get a P67 board, but the H67 will at least give you the option to use SNB's built-in graphics stuff... like Quick Sync, if you plan to transcode videos. This board is near the lower end, but still has USB 3.0, you can probably knock off $10 if you don't want USB 3)
Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I52500 - $209.99 (If you plan on OC-ing, you're going to want the i5-2500K, otherwise, this one is just fine)
Totaled, it's $614.95 US, I don't know what the etail/retail stores are like in Belgium, but I would assume you could get about the same for under 600Euros... If you had extra, I'd recommend adding an SSD. :)
If you're planning on overclocking, you're going to need to increase your budget.
Note: I work at Intel.
