Basically I'm gonna spend pretty big on a new computer, now I've been on pcspecialist.co.uk going back and forth on what I want on it when I order. I'm not sure if this is the best website to order from or if it's overpriced or not, I just picked it because it ships to Portugal and the shipping costs get calculated in the price as I tweak the configuration so that's nice.
Right now I've decided to hold back on the memory while adding parts (I got 2x4gb DDR3 memory still laying around here) so I picked a single 2gb stick to go in, because unfortunatly they wont let me leave it out entirely lol.
I also decided to hold back on a videocard because I still have my HD 4870 laying around which is fine for any game I want to play at this moment anyway. I don't play anything like BF3 or that kind of stuff so I figure I wont need a graphic card upgrade right now. I will look to upgrade to at least a HD 7870 in the near future but for right now I'm going to be saving money on the graphics card.
So that leaves me with a budget of ~€850 to get a future proof desktop PC without spending big on memory and graphics right off the bat.
So far I decided to go with the following:
[spoiler]

Memory (RAM) 2GB KINGSTON DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (1 x 2GB)
It wont let me leave the memory out entirely, like I said i got 2x4gb DDR3 sticks laying around here, should be fine for me?

So it comes up to just over my budget which is fine at €853 which is including a monitor.
I'm especially excited about the motherboard, it looks kinda sexy.
But I would like to have some input from others because I'm still going back and forth and I'm just really encertain, halp?
