Can someone help with a build

[jhooga]

I have a family friend who wants me to help him put together a new computer for him and he was going to buy one from dell and i told him we could build one cheaper. He wants to go with i7-920 and 12gb ram can someone help put something together with these types of specs used mainly for programs which require major processing power

12 GB is most likely overkill. What does he need this for? Gaming? CAD?

A budget and usage would be helpful.

$2000 budget mainly used for major processing programs graphic editing and movies no gaming

Better off with a 1055T for non gaming usage, the 1055t is actually more powerful than the i7 920 for multi threaded programs.
