Forget i5-7500; go straight to i5-8400.
Dropped a few parts to less-expensive (for gaming you won't notice).
Upgraded 2nd drive to 3TB.
Upgraded GPU to 1070 Ti.

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread. But can I ask I saw Newegg Canada posted above. I need some new parts for PC, But does anyone know if you have to pay extra on delivery from Newegg even if you choose Europe.

Also: Has anyone ordered from these sights before.

I noticed you edited the OP -- very important to note that i5-8400 WILL NOT WORK in a B250 motherboard!

I wouldn't order from Newegg since most of their stuff ships from USA, which incurs import taxes & is a hassle for returns.

Geizhals is a price comparison engine, they don't stock anything. For checking UK-only retailers, you can use their sister site Skinflint

Haven't heard anything majorly wrong about Aria, but have never used them personally.
