I am thinking a cheap AMD system since GPU will hold me back more in FPS games and I am not going to change it soon. Not sure if SLI 460 is good option or not (and they seem to starting to disapear, additional asus 460 would be 139.9€ now ). Not sure how SLI would work with diffrent 460 since its factory OC one.

I have no idea how good that motherboad is, one option is go to:
AsRock 970 Extreme4 AM3+ board (SLI support)
http://www.jimms.fi/tuoteinfo/970-EXTREME4?pid=13203387...
but it costs 110€ and not totaly sure if going sli is a good idea. And if that board is picked what memory will work with that board (kingston hyperX, corsair vengeance, G.Skill ripjaws or what).
Thank you in advance.

I'm honestly not too fond of AMD builds, but I will refuse to knock them ![:)]( ":)")
.
Here is a suggestion, that may run you slightly more, because I don't have a Euro conversion chart at the moment.
But for gaming, as it was put out to me, look for 8GB RAM at least.
Here is a suggestion:
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) --- 49.99 USD
Should be more than plenty for what you want to do and both cards have heat sinks built into the top of them to allow better ventilation.![:D]( ":D")

Terve,
the CPU is great. I'd probably go for 8 GB RAM since it's cheap: http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/KHX1600C9D3K2%2F8GX
The ASRock 970 is my personal price/perf favorite, so I'd take that.
You don't need a more expensive PSU than this: http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/P1-550S-XXB9 even with 460 SLI.
I'm not going to comment on the case since that's more personal preference than anything.
EDIT: wrong RAM linked earlier

evgarunner:
Running C2D E6750@3.0 atm and I would be happy to make i5 system, I just can't fit all nice things to my budget (100-200 more and...) so I thought to make a cheap system and use parts of it to make a better one in 2-3years.
FinneousPJ:
Kingston HyperX 2x4GB, DDR3 1600MHz, CL9 works with that AsRock board?
I rather go over board with PSU since I don't know what the next build is going to be after this one.
