    Am planning on ordering these parts in the new year:
    CPU: Intel i5 4460 £132
    GPU: Zotac GTX 970 £258.99
    PSU: EVGA 500 White £32.40
    MoBO: Asus H81M-K £37.99
    HDD: Toshiba 1TB SATA 3 £37.99
    Case: Zalman R1 £33.03
    RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical (2x4gb) £41.89

    All parts from Amazon.

    My questions are:
    1. I could save a bit of money from buying from dabs.ie but I've heard terrible things. Is it worth the few bob? Also are there any other websites with better prices?
    2. My build is over budget at the moment. Is there anywhere I would be able to cut costs or will I have to fork out this much?
    3. Are all parts up to standard? In particular the PSU is a bargain piece.

    Dabs have a bad rep because of their customer service. If nothing is wrong with your order it will be pretty painless. But if a part is missing or faulty then you could be in for weeks of waiting and unanswered emails and phone calls.
    I would only choose Dabs if they had a great deal on something I really wanted.

    I'm caught for time right now but if you put those parts into hardwareversand.de you might get them cheaper.
