So this is hopefully the last revision of my build before I purchase. I have a copy of Windows 8 already and a 1080p TV for now until I save for a monitor. Also had a 500GB HDD from my laptop that I will be installing.

Can you see anywhere that I could save a few quid? Please let me know your thoughts on the build. Thanks

Seems fine, you could probably save a a little under €30 with this RAM and board, but thats about it the only other option would be a cheap case.

2 x 4GB G.Skill PC3-12800U CL11-11-11-28|€64.44

Nice, I will be purchasing next week once I get paid. Still tinkering with the build a bit. I may change MOBO to save a few more euros. I have run these through the discount method yet either could save a few more.
