READ FIRST:

Im not either from USA/Ireland or UK, im from Spain but, as there isnt any Spanish forum here and i dont know either French or Italian, I'll just post here. Im not looking so much for an exact build with real prices, but more for advice on some components I got recommended.

If any mod thinks my post does not belong here, please move/delete it.

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: 1 week to 1 month, when I finally can decide
BUDGET RANGE: 1100ish € for pc tower + 200ish € for monitor

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, programming, internet, videos

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, mouse, speakers and OS.

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: As said avobe, I just need advice on the components itself, but if you wish to compare some prices you can check sites like:

[1] http://www.coolmod.com
[2] http://www.pccomponentes.com/
[3] http://www.alternate.es/html/index.html
[4] http://www.appinformatica.com/
[5] http://www.pcbox.com/

I guess product codes will be the same for every country. Just FYI, "Search == Buscar".

PARTS PREFERENCES:

- Dont care about processor brand.
- I would like DDR3, so I can forget about upgrading for 1-2 years.
- 20"-22" gaming monitor.
- I dont care about GPU brands as long as games look OK, but Im more likely inclined to nVidia, mostly for CUDA and PhysX.
- The case should have good air flow, as here is very hot in summer.
- I dont use much disk space (surviving untill now on 60GB).

2nd and 4th are open to debate, and will go whatever gives a good performance/cost ratio.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe if there is easy and can keep it on air.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe later.

MONITOR RESOLUTION: Whatever fits in a 20"-22" gaming monitor, I dont know (lol).

Now, I ve been reading for a few weeks, and yesterday someone gave me the next build:

Everything from http://www.coolmod.com (free shiping if the price is over 150€), and for monitor, Samsung T220 at http://www.pccomponentes.com . Im most concerned about the motherboard, cpu-ram compatibility (voltage) and the case is a bit weird as it has the PSU in the lower back zone. Another FYI, "Montaje == Assembly", i think i could do it myself but left it in for now.

I dont want to doubt on anyone that kindly gave me advice, but im a bit cautious and Ill like a second opinion (actually, and a third and fourth and ...) before buying anything.

Thanks.

PS: Sorry for my english, if you cant understand anything just let me now.

It didnt let me edit the post, so Ill post again:

Direct link to each:

CPU
Cooler
Motherboard
RAM
Couldnt find HDD
DVD
PSU
CASE
GPU

And, @nachota1987, I havent bought from them online, but I have friends that bought some components from a store they have here. From what I know, the components where in perfect condition and still working. Anyway, seems that most people resort to [1], [2] and [5] for their internet shopping.

For the PSU-SLI thing, If that GPU can run some of the games to come (AC 2, D3), I dont think I would be buying a second card for a while.

Thanks
