    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? no

    5. Do you need a monitor? no

    5a. If yes, what size do you need?

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? No

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? No

    8. How can you pay? Card/PayPal

    9. When are you purchasing? Coming months

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? Dublin, but I should be okay with building it.

    Usual advice applies. Digital's list are general pricing. Mindfactory.de, Amazon.co.uk (or .de/.fr/.es), Overclockers.co.uk are all reputable sellers. If purchasing from germany, buy the case from amazon.co.uk to avoid extra shipping costs.
