The only reliable one I know is in the UK, so I doubt that you can trek that far.

I'll just try some sites like ebay. I'll let you know. See ya!!

I found on ebay this pc:
PROCESSOR:Intel Core i5 - 2500 6MB 3.3GHz Socket 1155 Box 95W Sandy Bridge
MOTHER BOARD:Asrock H61M-VS B3 Socket 1155 (mATX Intel H61) Vga
VIDEO CARD:Supports Single-link DVI with max. resolution up to 1920x1200 @60Hz
MEMORY:Kingston - RAM DDR3 2GB 1333MHz CL9
WEB CARD:LAN Realtek® 8111E Gigabit LAN controller 10/100/1000
AUDIO CARD:Audio Realtek® ALC887 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
PRICE:289€=370$
Is all this OK?
I have to change the video card? If yes with what video card?
I have to put on an Hard Disk which one?
and finally I have to change the RAM into 4gb DDR3. I already found it.
Thanks again

You haven't listed any video card information yet...

That is worthless information, it troubles me that you didn't realize that.

The informations that I listed were on the description of the ebay item so if the information about video card mean nothing it could mean that there isn't a video card included. So I have to put a video card too: AMD Radeon HD XXXX 1GB which one is compatible? Thanks

There has to be something the PC is using for video, it would probably be in your best interest to actually get that information before randomly deciding that you need a new one. You're spending money, find out what it is you're buying.

I don't know if you can see but i post it anyway http://www.ebay.it/itm/KIT-PROCESSORE-INTEL-i5-2500-H61M-VS-2GB-DDR3-/140746997308?pt=Schede_madri_per_PC_e_Server&hash=item20c52cbe3c#ht_5543wt_1110
I think that it's only a case with a motherboard, processor, ram memory and web card in.

I know you said that you don't want to build a computer from scratch, but that's basically what you would be doing if you bought that kit from Ebay, since you still have to add half the components yourself. It might be best just to buy everything separately, since you would save money as well. Also, the i5-2500 cannot be overclocked, so you are losing out on some potential performance boost if you buy that kit. ("k" indicates overclocking ability, i5-2500k, i5-3750k).

I know, but that's the only way to save money. Buying every single piece I've got some problems: first I don't know what case to buy (this is why I would buy that item because the case is included), second I'm scared that buying piece to piece I'll pay more than buying an assembled computer third in some cases I don't know which piece to buy. I also know that the k mean that is overclockable.

I did a quick search on Ebay and found a few good configurations. None of these include an operating system or an after-market CPU cooler (if you want to overclock), so that will factor into the cost as well. The main difference between these is the graphics card, but someone more familiar with Nvidia than me will have to tell you what the difference is, but they all should be able to reach 4x IR.
