    What CPU to you?

    GTX960 or a 280X are top at that price range

    If you're going second hand you can push out €20-30 and get a 290

    280X is slightly better than the 7970 if you see them second hand at similar prices

    I wouldn't get an Inno3D one.

    Have a look at Amazon, its likely be cheaper than komplett

    although amazon is good for buying individual parts, would you recommend it for full builds?

    Amazon are not bad for individual parts because you can get free delivery with "Super Saver Delivery".


    But if you are buying parts for a whole build then you would probably save a few quid with Mindfactory. They charge 29.99 for delivery but they are cheaper than Amazon so you should easily cover the delivery cost if you are buying a few different items for a build.

    They are based in Germany so you will also be paying in euros and will not have to get stung on the exchange rate.

    I have also just seen this. http://www.mailboxde.com

    It looks like a Parcel Motel type of forwarding service from Germany. I am too tired to read through it now but it looks like it could save money on shipping from German websites like Mindfactory.de. It might be worth a look.
