Hello. I need advice for a good custom gaming PC build, for $1100-$1350... Which is like €800-€1000.
Some things which would help you out:
-Country: Spain
-Budget: $1100-$1350 (€800-€1000)
-At least I'd want 8GB.
-At least 1TB HDD. If not, 750GB.
-I'd want Windows 7 or Windows 8, but not Windows 8.1. (Needless to say I don't want XP or Vista as well)
-I wouldn't overclock anything...
I'm not a PC expert (at least about Hardware - I know what's a GPU, CPU, RAM, Case... though), so please don't kill me if I disturb you or I'm wrong at anything. Also I don't know too much about "compatibility" between the parts.
Also, I'd want to ask you if a "Dual Channel RAM" (example: 2x4GB) is better than only one, and why?
Oh well now with the recommended format in the forum:
Approximate Purchase Date: Hopefully in some weeks, or days.
Budget Range: $1100-$1350 max.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Surfing the internet, watching videos, perhaps watching films... (but I don't think so)
Parts Not Required: I need them all. Yeah, even OS, keyboard, monitor, mouse...
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Huh... I'm from Spain so I don't have too many options. So I guess that in Spanish webs they're for the same price?
Country: Spain
Parts Preferences: by brand or type: Intel i7 processor, quad-core, a NVIDIA GPU or AMD.
Overclocking: No. Perhaps in the future, for now, no.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: I don't know. The best for the GPU I'd get.
Additional Comments: I'd want a good GPU and CPU. However, I don't play very heavy games. But just in case I start to do so. Also, I'd want it to be quiet. Please not much noise.

Had to go i5, but it's still a great CPU.The benefit of dual channel RAM is more bandwidth availability, meaning quicker RAM processes. Let me know what you think.

For nvidia, you would be going down in performance, so I don't recommend that. The 7870 GHz edition is essentially the 270x.
About your first question, it seems they are a bit higher to me, but as it's Europe I'm not sure what to expect for Spain lol there wasn't really much options for parts there, wasn't easy to build lol

Heh, thanks. But if I get the AMD GPU and want to play games which need/have/support PhysX from Nvidia, what would happen? I couldn't play them or I could but with worse perfomance?

Oh, and what's the matter of the W?
Estimated Wattage: 358W
Power Supply Wattage: 520W
What does that mean and what is it for? I guess it is it takes more electricity? xD I really don't know...
Speaking about PC parts, what if I'd want another CPU? How do I know if it has compatibility? Because I heard you can't overclock that CPU you gave above, and perhaps I'd be interested on it. Not now but perhaps in the future...
Edit: I guess the Sapphire HD 7870 GHz Edition is better than the normal AMD HD 7870, but in what? Speed?
Also, what do you recommend me for this? Lights (electricity) sometimes turn off and then I must turn them on again. I think it is because of my weather, but nevermind. What would you recommend me so if this happens when I'm using the computer, it doesn't get damaged the HDD or other parts? Thanks!

It's fine, all the questions are good, means you want to learn, not just be told something lol
The estimated power is what PCPartPicker adds up to be your estimated usage. The power supply we like to give some headroom for upgrades, PSU degradation, etc.
The 7870 GHz edition is just a faster 7870.
On this list, I upgraded the GPU A LOT, got you an overclockable i7 (which is a beast), a great, quiet CPU cooler, and an SSD for your OS and programs, to make everything else speed up a lot.
Check the build out and let me know what you think. This would max out everything at 1080p, and the CPU is amazing for stuff like editing, rendering, etc.

I would pick at least 3GB to 4GB for a GPU, especially if your paying that kind of Money.. 2GB is old school and almost every application can use more including every single new game coming out.. Allot of these people are biased in some way.. remember that .. The CPU I agree with.. Not sure about the motherboard and RAM also. For the money I would also look into an SSD for your OS to reside on (Small one maybe)

Go for it then.. Its better you learn from experience lol.. The 770 is a good card for an average user.. Its just that your system build is good but the VRAM will let you down most of the time vs anything else (2GB is 2012 for above average system).
Cant really say until you are specific in what you will be doing and playing

Here's another build for you below:
Went to the i5, allows you to overclock still, and not much of performance difference in gaming. Allowed to get a more future-proof 780
2GB is more than enough for games right now. Like you said, most don't really use that much, and if it shows them using that much, it's simply as a buffer. For one screen at 1080p, 2GB will be perfect. I used a 512MB card for about 7 years, until about 2 months ago lol

The 750w psu will give you room to add a second gpu in sli if you want later, but if not it won't hurt to have the extra power.
The notice about the case is just saying your motherboard has support for USB 3.0 in the front, but the case doesn't have any hookups for that. You'll still have them in the back though.
About the upgrade to the psu, I wouldn't spend the extra money on that unless you definitely plan on adding a second gpu in the future. If you know you will definitely not, you could even drop to a 650w and be perfectly fine, and save a few bucks.
Back to the case, feel free to get any ATX case you like, I just throw in a case for a decent amount of money lol cases are almost purely aesthetic, and I know people all like different things. Pretty much any atx size case will worm

Hello, I'm sorry for answering too late.
So there isn't any problem with the case and mobo, is there?
And about the case, nah, I was just wondering. I really like the case you suggested, it's quite good. However, I wonder if it has enough space for all the components (I'd be pretty angry if I'm building a PC and I can't put the components in XD).

By the way, the GIGABYTE Motherboard has support for USB 3.0, however it says nothing about 2.0 and the case has four 2.0 ports. So yeah, I wonder if it supports 2.0 as well? I thought that "if it supports 3.0, why not 2.0?", however I don't know too much about PC hardware, software might be other story, so just askin' here.

Had to go i5, but it's still a great CPU.The benefit of dual channel RAM is more bandwidth availability, meaning quicker RAM processes. Let me know what you think.
Oh well, I better think I'll get this. HD 7870 is good enough for gaming, isn't it?
But the problem is... The Optical Drive isn't available on Amazon ES now...
By the way, any idea if Amazon (or shops, in general) have sales in February?
