    As the title says, is there another answer other than ebay and amazon?

    Adverts.ie ( best chose someone who had good feedback ) or Donedeal.

    I'd lean more towards adverts tbh, at least you can get some kind of idea who you're dealing with from their feedback rating.

    I tried adverts, they only sell PCs and the USED parts are overpriced

    The nVidia cards arent well priced on adverts, I'd just get a new one so you've a warranty.

    Why do you want such an old CPU?

    The sandy bridge i7s are still great CPUs, and I want to get an i7 for the price of an i5

    I know, but the CPUs and motherboards are coming up on 5 years old at this point, is it worth the hassle with such old stuff. There's nothing wrong with them, but all stock is rare, and old.

    Have you looked at a Haswell Xeon?

    They are still decent, that's why you won't pick them up for pennys on adverts. Have a look at the sold listings on adverts for an idea of what the actual selling price is as opposed to what people are listing them at

    If you can wait Amazon has brilliant value on gpu's around Christmas, if your looking for a 970 I can recommend the Evga 970 ssc, only got it a few days ago, paid €390 but I'm sure itl be cheaper in December, the thing is a beast and evga's stuff just feel so much more built to last than allot of other brands.
