I can max out at €750 but I would prefer not to as I can always upgrade in around 18 months. I want to include a monitor, mouse and keyboard in this price, but they can be mid/low-range i.e 2000dpi. Thanks

Edit: No need for a monitor or a HDMI, I have these.

My apologies for taking so long. I had a rather full schedule today.

Having spent sometime looking around on some Irish sites, here is a revised build:

I'm afraid that I don't know Irish sites, but if you can ship from the UK without breaking the bank, this would be a good option:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£45.98 @ Aria PC)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT 2GB Video Card (£199.40 @ Amazon UK)

Edit: Whoops, missed the need for peripherals. I'll need to rework this. In the meantime, I have a question: is it cheaper for you to order from European or British stores? It would be useful to know if I can't find the right parts at an Irish vendor.

I hope that leaves enough room for peripherals/monitor. My apologies for pushing the edge of the budget, given that you were hoping to keep it at or below €650, but the i5-3350p and 650 Ti Boost are about as low-end as I feel comfortable recommending. However, we can cut if needed.
