500USD is about 7090 pesos but I don't understand the price labelling on the site. Is $999 saying 999 pesos? So $1.083 is 1000 pesos?

1USD=14 pesos. All the prices there are in pesos. In there $1083 are 1083 pesos.

Yeah there isnt much choice. I didnt even consider micro ATX. I already have a case, from a dell Studio 540 but it has a 350w supply (and the battery is death bcs is like 7 years old) I dont know if it can be upgraded. How could I know that?

I wouldn't be reusing dell cases. Not sure about the studio but most are btx cases and a regular atx motherboard won't match up.

One more vote for buying an Intel setup if you can. Buying an AM3+ socket platform right now is a flat bad idea, and I own an 8320. :D

The i5 will be faster than the 8350 in most gaming instances and still have viable upgrades with that socket. Going AMD you'd want to upgrade within a year or so as the single core performance will hold you back more and more.

Did you mean "I wouldnt"?
Yes, was on my phone at work and sometimes it changes what I type.

Also checked what the studio 540 looks like and its an atx case. But dells have front usb's and wires all in one connector so you wouldn't be able to put in a retail motherboard.

All right. I would prefer to buy a new case and a new supply bcs those are pretty old. Is there another difference between DDR4 ram and DDR3 other than the increased frequency?

DDR4 should be cheaper then DDR3. Is there another online store where you are that may have more choices to pick from? Very few choices for ram.
