Since im in Ireland i always use Pixmania.ie to order my parts from. Not sure if they would be cheap or not compared to where you live but here in ireland they have the best prices with free delivary so its handy. They also have some great deals on hardware sometimes.

I build this PC im using now back in 2011 i think. I got an upgrade kit from pixmania that was on sale at the time, Motherboard, i5-2500K CPU, and 8GB ram and a amd HD6870 1GB GPU and a new case. Total cost was only something like 500 euro with everything on sale (Plus the rest of the parts i still had from my old pc). Within that time last year i only upgraded the GPU to a AMD280X 3GB GPU what i got from pixmania on sale for like 150 euros and it included 3 free new games included access to Star Citenzin and the full game on its release with the deal, so it was pretty sweet deal imo.

And now thanks to that GPU this PC runs anything better then the nextgen consoles. Next upgrade, like you ill get an extra 8gb ram. And then in about another 2 years ill buy another new GPU if the need comes around. So pretty much with a starting cost of 500€ back in 2011 and a 150 euro upgrade in 2014 and that upgrade will last me the next 2 years (And much longer if i wanted to wait since it will still play everything and is a DX12 card) i have a PC Since 2011 with a total cost to me (we will just say 700 euros) once the extra ram is included that can play everything better then the PS4 or the X1 and any game from about a year to a year and a half ago (And some new games) in 2k res.

So i was pretty happy with it. But maybe you should give that site a look, like i said maybe compared to where you live it might be expensive but they do have some pretty sweet deals sometimes.

One more thing id like is to see some pics of the OPS PC build outside and in , i just love looking at peoples builds.

lol I actually live on the Isle of Man so I'm really not far from you =P.

I use PCPP and Scan.co.uk since those two and a combo of Amazon UK are those that tend to give me the better deals than say Overclockers UK and some other unknown lesser sites based in the UK (I say lesser because they don't have a bigger rep than the 3 I mentioned).

 

As for my build is pretty much: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/YCqxmG minus the 680 which got replaced with my GTX Zotac AMp edition 980 and EVGA 750w PSU.

 

Going for this monitor in a few days and a DP cable ebcause my current benQ one isn't really ideal for me and features colour banding and changing display cables isn't changing any of that lol.
