GAMING PC BUILD

defomaybe

Trying to come up with a good gaming PC for a budget of around 900 euro give or take but since i'm not too experienced would love some help!
If i missed out on something or parts are not compatible please let me now.

Here's what I've come up with so far....

Antec 900 Nine Hundred Ultimate Gamer Case (Black) €97.57
Corsair 750W Enthusiast Series TX750 Modular Power Supply €103.14
ASRock Z68 Pro 3 LGA1155 Intel Z68 DDR3 ATX €114.18
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz LGA1155 6MB €191.53
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL9 XMP €51.88
EVGA GeForce GTX 560 850MHz 1GB PCI-Express 2.0 x16 HDMI SuperClocked €162.47
Seagate 1TB Barracuda SATA-600 7200RPM 32MB €51.47
Sony 24x DVD-RW/RAM SATA Black LightScribe Drive €21.47
Asus 21.5" VH222D Widescreen 5ms Response with VGA LCD €110.99
Logitech MK 120 Keyboard & Mouse €15.37
Microsoft Windows Home Premium 7 SP1 32-bit EN 1pk OEI OEM DVD €87.61

Could probably do with shaving the price down a little bit for some things:)
This comes to €1,007.68

Don't have the time to give you a proper build, but to save money you should:

-Get a much cheaper case. The antec 900 is expensive and dated, there are cheaper better cases around such as the CM 690 II.

-Get a cheaper PSU, 550W is plenty for a single 560. I'd say one of the XFX Core 550W or SuperFlower Amazon 550W.

-Get the P67 instead of the Z68 unless you need quicksync.

-Get a cheap 1333 CL9 RAM kit, it will be just as good and won't have ridiculously irritating headspreaders.

Dabs.ie....Any other good Irish sites?

Dabs.ie isn't Irish; they're a UK company. As far as I know, the only good one is Komplett.

Komplett aren't Irish either but they do employ people and have a warehouse so have a much more local presence than companies such a dabs.
You would be paying Irish tax with dabs though, if that's a factor.
Dabs has had a pretty bad name lately (although I've used them 4 or 5 times with only one, quickly fixed problem) with slow deliveries and poor contact. Their prices can be good but I think that they keep next to nothing in stock so that they can get the latest prices (hence prices jump around regularly).

The next big Irish one I know of is elara.ie. They've got good customer service but their prices are steep so are best for just a few items rather than whole builds.
There's also memoryc.com (AKA Go Beyond and shop4memory) who have headquarters in Kildare. If you were to go with komplett for a build, I recommend getting your memory from here as they usually have very competitive prices and good service (+ both komplett and memoryc have free delivery).

If you would be just as happy ordering outside Ireland, the cheapest are hardwareversand.de in Germany and scan.co.uk
