Hard drive: (For the hard drive I would have a SSD for boot drive, to increase boot time and a 1 Terabyte hard drive for storage)
Option 1: SSD: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-240GB-2-5-Inch-Internal-CT240M500SSD1/dp/B00BQ8RM1A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1399711303&sr=8-3 HARD DRIVE: http://www.amazon.com/WD-Red-NAS-Hard-Drive/dp/B008JJLXO6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1399711399&sr=8-2 or http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Cache-Drive-WD40EFRX/dp/B00EHBERSE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399711399&sr=8-1 (2nd one has a extra 3 Terabytes! )
Option 2: SSD: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-6-0GB-2-5-Inch-Height-SDSSDP-064G-G25/dp/B007ZWLRSU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399711194&sr=8-1 and HARD DRIVE: http://www.amazon.com/WD-Green-Desktop-Hard-Drive/dp/B006GDVREI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1399711238&sr=8-4 or http://www.amazon.com/WD-Green-Desktop-Hard-Drive/dp/B008YAHW6I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399711238&sr=8-1 (2nd one has a extra terabyte for not much more)
CD drive:
Option 1: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-DVD-ROM-Internal-Blu-Ray-BC-12B1ST/dp/B004SUO068/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399711642&sr=8-1
Option 2: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Serial-ATA-Internal-Optical-DRW-24B1ST/dp/B0033Z2BAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399711676&sr=8-1 (Doesn't play blue ray)

Graphics card:
Option 1: http://www.amazon.com/XFX-RADEON-1000MHz-Graphics-R9290XENFC/dp/B00G2OTRMA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399711723&sr=8-1 (Please note I doubt crossfire will be needed for this card)
Option 2: http://www.amazon.com/XFX-FX777AZNF4-Edition-1000MHz-Graphics/dp/B007A44T42/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399711794&sr=8-1 (Can have more in crossfire)

Hope all this helps!
 
Solution
wait, if possible just 1 question, its possible to get 2 graphics whit 2 gb for make crossfire, i dont know but probably its less expansive than buy 1 whit 4gb already cause all of it whitout the graphics will cost about 850 euros, so if the both coud be about 300 or something like that woud be better than pay 650 euros xD the second option its just 2 gb but give me your opinion :)
 
Having one card in my opinion is a better option for a few reasons:
1. air flow as there is more room and less wires connecting the two cards so cooling will be better.
2. Performance tends to be better on the single card because it has more features that allow it to work better "Such as 3D, more monitors for eyeininity e.t.c

But of course for performance having two 2gb cards (depending on the card) would have equal performance to one card as long as its 2gb GDDR5 RAM
Hope this helps!
