Hello,
I would like to build my first PC, but I'm totally clueless... I have no criterion for choosing between different brands nor do I feel confidence when choosing a compatible motherboard. Therefore, I will really appreciate your help .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP (1-2 weeks).
Budget Range: 1000-1200€ After Rebates (including monitor).
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, maybe some 3D rendering for game development, surfing the internet, watching movies, etc.
Parts Not Required: speakers, OS.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: amazon.es (with Premium Trial), amazon.co.uk (with Super Saver Delivery), PCComponentes, Redcoon, PC BOX, APP, Alternate.
Country: Spain
Parts Preferences: After reading some articles ("best for the money") and posts in this website, I guess I should buy a Core i5-3450 + Radeon HD 7850. However, I am open to new and better options.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future, as a way to upgrade my PC by reusing my GPU (worth it?).
Monitor Resolution: I guess 1080p would be enough...
Additional Comments: I don't really care about noise. An inexpensive stylish case (even with some ligths) would be nice, but not necessary. SSD could be interesting. Above all, I would like to play Diablo III, Skyrim and some upcoming games at their maximum graphical aspect. I also greatly appreciate recommendations on the mouse and monitor. Finally, I wonder if the CPUs or GPUs will experience a price drop in the coming days so I'd better wait a bit...

I trust you
Thanks in advance.
