Go to http://logicalincrements.com/ and figure out a new PC build. You're dealing with seven year old hardware here.

And as far as I'm aware (correct me if I'm wrong) for eve your order of prioritie should be,
Cpu first, then memory, then gfx cards

use the site I linked

those configurations are basically known to work and fit (i.e. video card clearance, memory voltages, etc.)

Look at the amd line , the price to performance ratio is fantastic on the r9 cards, you can get a 290 for about €200-350 range if you're on the ball and have the psu for one , failing that the r9 280 is marginally cheaper and wouldn't require more than a 750w so you could shave some money there and still be in good condition for other games.

Again though if you're building an eve machine look to spend a bit more on the cpu than you normally would as it's doing most of the work.
