Alright...

As the topic suggests, I'm looking for a budget build that's based on a graphics card I received as a gift.

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Before Christmas (500 €), or January/February 2010 (500+ €)
BUDGET RANGE: 500-700 € (~455-640 £ / ~750-1050 $) at most after rebates
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, image editing, school, surfing the internet, watching video
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Case, CD/DVD drive, HDDs, keyboard, monitor, mouse, speakers
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Amazon, european websites
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Finland
PARTS PREFERENCES: None, I'm a newbie at this
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe (later in the future?)
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1600x1200
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The graphics card is Asus EN9600GT/DI/1GD3, and it would be a waste not to use it... OS is going to be either Windows XP or Windows 7. The case is Coolermaster ATC-220-VX1 (from my current computer), but I could get a new cheap one. The monitor is Iiyama LS902UT. Yes, its old, but good enough for me at the moment.

Have at it. ^^
