Hm I don't really know what kind of support those stores give to customers I know that from Amazon you buy from the manufacture so I think that way would be better no? And I am buying something to last at least 5 years.

No matter what store you buy the product from, you will always RMA to the manufacturer, if you have to RMA.
I also put together a different build, with more future proofing, using the 2011 socket.

Yeah I will look into getting more monitors in the future but, for now I will use only one and use my laptop to manage my other stuff. I have a spare monitor at home but it still uses the old VGA connections once again thanks and I am still open to suggestions if anyone has any please advice since I want this pc to last me at least 5 years without any kind of problem related to performance.

Regards,
Nuno
