I have a number of questions that I'll need answered before I can make a useful suggestion:
1: You mention that you intend to ship to Spain. Will intercontinental shipping need to be included in the budget? Also, have you considered a local or Eurozone vendor? It would cut shipping costs significantly, even if you only bought the heavy items (case and monitor, for instance) from them.
2: Are you alright with purchasing from multiple vendors? It almost always increases price efficiency.
3: Did you mean "OS" in your last paragraph?

I can make a recommendation on one thing to start with, however: You almost always want a 1920x1080 monitor for gaming, unless you either a, favour 1920x1200, or b, can afford and wish to use a 2560x1440.

International shipping with low prices is something I've yet to find, though if you can find a place willing to do it, that's certainly great news.

Buying from one site will significantly reduce price efficiency. You usually need to buy from three-to-five for optimum efficiency.

Operating system? Alright, just wanted to clarify.

According to this (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=596194), $12.99 or $3.49/lb.

Due to how we format our suggestions, the suggested vendor will be listed with the part.

I will work on a build, and post it when I am done.

Edit: Work took longer than expected today. Expect suggestion some time in the next 24 hours.

A few suggestions:

1. Buy the CPU from the guy in the "Deals" forum here on tom's hardware. He'll sell it to you for around $180.

2. You will most likely want a different case. You can either get that one in black, OR I would suggest the antec gx700 (if you wanna spend a bit extra), or the NZXT Source 210 (Its only drawback is no USB 3.0 on the front).

3. Contrary to popular opinion you don't HAVE to have at least 1920x1080. I'm using this build on 1440x900 and that's good enough for me :) Let someone else suggest monitors though, I already had mine.


I'm not really sure what international shipping will be like for this build, so you might shop around and see if you can get these same parts with better shipping at different places :)

Here's an overview of the graphics card vs. others: (It's the green one).
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GTX_760_SC_ACX_Cooler/27.html

And I'd suggest this monitor: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-19-Inch-Widescreen-Monitor-CV3WP-E05/dp/B003D59FDW/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1373071665&sr=1-2&keywords=acer+1440x900

(Or maybe this one: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-ET-CV3WP-E06-19-Inch-Widescreen-Speakers/dp/B003E1QEY8/ref=pd_sim_e_11) Whichever has cheaper shipping :) (The second one has speakers built in if you want that.)

Okay, I had a little difficulty parsing your budget, but I interpreted it as "$800-900 plus $100-140 for a monitor". If this is incorrect, please let me know and I will revise the build. This would be my suggestion, assuming that interpretation in correct:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($199.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock H87 Pro4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($92.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($62.13 @ TigerDirect)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 3GB Video Card ($329.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Corsair 300R ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($44.99 @ NCIX US)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer ($17.99 @ Newegg)
Monitor: Asus VS238H-P 23.0" Monitor ($137.58 @ Newegg)
Total: $984.63
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

It's more expensive than Pilot's suggestion, but also more powerful graphically, and it has both a better case and a superior monitor. It has a slightly weaker, non-overclockable CPU, but given that you had stated that you didn't wish to overclock, I chose to focus more on graphics.

If there's anything wrong with the build or you would like any adjustments for some reason, I would be happy to change it to suit your needs.

To what end? It's a non-overclocking build. The stock cooler will be fine.

The graphics card I suggested is one of the strongest available currently. While the GTX 770 and 780 (and, needless to say, the GTX Titan) are stronger, the 7970 is still more than enough to max most current games at 1080p.

I have no idea how Spanish tax or import law works at all. In fact, I have very little knowledge of the legalities surrounding purchasing components in another country in general, as the vast majority of the people we advise choose to purchase in their nation of origin.

Edit: Regarding your netbook, we have a Laptops subforum, which would be the most ideal place to inquire.

To my (admittedly limited, keep in mind that this is the USA/Canada Tom's forum) understanding, Germany has better prices on most computer parts. Would you be able to purchase there, or in another Eurozone nation with superior prices to Spain?
