Didn't see that, thanks.
I found the other thread with the Euro build. This guy's budget is around 800 Euros and he is looking to get the following:
Since you have 900 Euros, I would maybe look to get yourself a 7870 or R9 270X instead of a 7850, and upgrade the CPU to an FX-8320. Otherwise, this is a solid build for around the 900 Euro mark.
If you want to see the thread, here it is: http://www.computerforum.com/225242-my-first-gaming-rig-5.html#post1899186
You'll probably be looking at an i3 and a mid-range Z87 board and a GTX 650 Ti or maybe a 760 if you want Intel and NVIDIA.
You might be able to squeeze an i5 and a mid-range Z87 board into your budget.
I would personally go for the AMD GPU and CPU wise whatever I could afford on this occasion.

And includes OS, for some reason Jason didn't include that. Better CPU, better GPU, slightly worse board. But you could probly fit a 990FX board in that budget, like the one Spirit recommended. No SSD either but you could also add one of those. A Intel and Asus nvidia setup would be significantly worse and is a bad idea. A 8320 will be around 30 percent better then a i3 in most games, and will be 70 percent better in BF4, with more to come, because they take advantage of the extra cores.

Good build, I think the guy I originally specced that build for didn't need an OS though, hence why I omitted it from the list.
I should have asked if you needed an OS though. If so, then 7 x64 or 8.1 x64 is the way to go.
EDIT:
@PCunicorn, you configured an $800 build, this guy is in Finland and has 900 Euros to spend. 900 Euros = just under $665 USD, and parts are more expensive in Europe than America, so he may not be able to buy all of those parts you recommended on his budget. The build I configured was for another European who was looking to spend about 800 Euros (which is $591), so he should be able to buy the parts I recommended with 900 Euros or so.
